About the Cover: The image on this book’s cover was inspired by a talk given by Michael Sullivan III: Is Mathematical Talent Overrated? The answer is yes. In mathematics, innate talent plays a much smaller role than grit and motivation as you work toward your goal. If you put in the time and hard work, you can succeed in your math course—just as an athlete must work to medal in their sport.

Three Distinct Series Students have different goals, learning styles, and levels of preparation. Instructors have different teaching philosophies, styles, and techniques. Rather than write one series to fit all, the Sullivans have written three distinct series. All share the same goal—to develop a high level of mathematical understanding and an appreciation for the way mathematics can describe the world around us. The manner of reaching that goal, however, differs from series to series.

Flagship Series, Eleventh Edition The Flagship Series is the most traditional in approach yet modern in its treatment of precalculus mathematics. In each text, needed review material is included, and is referenced when it is used. Graphing utility coverage is optional and can be included or excluded at the discretion of the instructor: College Algebra, Algebra & Trigonometry, Trigonometry: A Unit Circle Approach, Precalculus.

Enhanced with Graphing Utilities Series, Seventh Edition This series provides a thorough integration of graphing utilities into topics, allowing students to explore mathematical concepts and encounter ideas usually studied in later courses. Many examples show solutions using algebra side-by-side with graphing techniques. Using technology, the approach to solving certain problems differs from the Flagship Series, while the emphasis on understanding concepts and building strong skills is maintained: College Algebra, Algebra & Trigonometry, Precalculus.

Concepts through Functions Series, Fourth Edition This series differs from the others, utilizing a functions approach that serves as the organizing principle tying concepts together. Functions are introduced early in various formats. The approach supports the Rule of Four, which states that functions can be represented symbolically, numerically, graphically, and verbally. Each chapter introduces a new type of function and then develops all concepts pertaining to that particular function. The solutions of equations and inequalities, instead of being developed as stand-alone topics, are developed in the context of the underlying functions. Graphing utility coverage is optional and can be included or excluded at the discretion of the instructor: College Algebra; Precalculus, with a Unit Circle Approach to Trigonometry; Precalculus, with a Right Triangle Approach to Trigonometry.

The Flagship Series College Algebra, Eleventh Edition This text provides a contemporary approach to college algebra, with three chapters of review material preceding the chapters on functions. Graphing calculator usage is provided, but is optional. After completing this book, a student will be adequately prepared for trigonometry, finite mathematics, and business calculus.

Algebra & Trigonometry, Eleventh Edition This text contains all the material in College Algebra, but also develops the trigonometric functions using a right triangle approach and shows how it relates to the unit circle approach. Graphing techniques are emphasized, including a thorough discussion of polar coordinates, parametric equations, and conics using polar coordinates. Vectors in the plane, sequences, induction, and the binomial theorem are also presented. Graphing calculator usage is provided, but is optional. After completing this book, a student will be adequately prepared for finite mathematics, business calculus, and engineering calculus.

Precalculus, Eleventh Edition This text contains one review chapter before covering the traditional precalculus topics of polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions and their graphs. The trigonometric functions are introduced using a unit circle approach and showing how it relates to the right triangle approach. Graphing techniques are emphasized, including a thorough discussion of polar coordinates, parametric equations, and conics using polar coordinates. Vectors in the plane and in space, including the dot and cross products, sequences, induction, and the binomial theorem are also presented. Graphing calculator usage is provided, but is optional. The final chapter provides an introduction to calculus, with a discussion of the limit, the derivative, and the integral of a function. After completing this book, a student will be adequately prepared for finite mathematics, business calculus, and engineering calculus.

Trigonometry: a Unit Circle Approach, Eleventh Edition This text, designed for stand-alone courses in trigonometry, develops the trigonometric functions using a unit circle approach and shows how it relates to the right triangle approach. Vectors in the plane and in space, including the dot and cross products, are presented. Graphing techniques are emphasized, including a thorough discussion of polar coordinates, parametric equations, and conics using polar coordinates. Graphing calculator usage is provided, but is optional. After completing this book, a student will be adequately prepared for finite mathematics, business calculus, and engineering calculus.

Preface to the Instructor

A

s a professor of mathematics at an urban public ­university for 35 years, I understand the varied needs of precalculus students. Students range from being underprepared with little mathematical background and a fear of mathematics, to being highly prepared and motivated. For some, this is their final course in mathematics. For others, it is preparation for future mathematics courses. I have written this text with both groups in mind. A tremendous benefit of authoring a successful ­series is the broad-based feedback I receive from ­instructors and students who have used previous editions. I am s­incerely grateful for their support. Virtually every change to this edition is the result of their thoughtful comments and ­suggestions. I hope that I have been able to take their ideas and, building upon a successful foundation of the tenth ­edition, make this series an even better learning and ­teaching tool for students and instructors.

Features in the Eleventh Edition A descriptive list of the many special features of Precalculus can be found on the endpapers in the front of this text. This list places the features in their proper context, as building blocks of an overall learning system that has been carefully crafted over the years to help students get the most out of the time they put into studying. Please take the time to review it and to discuss it with your students at the beginning of your course. My experience has been that when students use these features, they are more s­ uccessful in the course. • Updated! Retain Your Knowledge Problems These problems, which were new to the previous edition, are based on the article “To Retain New Learning, Do the Math,” published in the Edurati Review. In this article, Kevin Washburn suggests that “the more students are required to recall new ­content or skills, the better their memory will be.” The Retain Your Knowledge problems were so well received that they have been expanded in this edition. Moreover, while the focus remains to help students maintain their skills, in most sections, problems were chosen that preview skills required to succeed in subsequent sections or in calculus. These are easily identified by the calculus icon (   ). All answers to Retain Your Knowledge problems are given in the back of the text and all are assignable in MyLab Math. • Guided Lecture Notes Ideal for online, emporium/­ redesign courses, inverted classrooms, or traditional ­lecture classrooms. These lecture notes help students take thorough, organized, and understandable notes as they watch the Author in Action videos. They ask s­ tudents to complete definitions, procedures, and examples based on the content of the videos and text. In addition, experience suggests that students learn by doing and understanding the why/how of the concept or property. Therefore, many

sections will have an exploration activity to motivate student learning. These explorations introduce the topic and/or connect it to either a real-world application or a previous section. For example, when the vertical-line test is discussed in Section 2.2, after the theorem statement, the notes ask the students to explain why the vertical-line test works by using the definition of a function. This challenge helps students process the information at a higher level of understanding. Illustrations Many of the figures have captions to help connect the illustrations to the explanations in the body of the text. Graphing Utility Screen Captures In several instances we have added Desmos screen captures along with the TI-84 Plus C screen captures. These updated screen captures ­provide alternate ways of visualizing concepts and making connections between equations, data and graphs in full ­color. Chapter Projects, which apply the concepts of each chapter to a real-world situation, have been enhanced to give students an up-to-the-minute experience. Many of these projects are new requiring the student to research information online in order to solve problems. Exercise Sets The exercises in the text have been ­reviewed and analyzed, some have been removed, and new ones have been added. All time-­sensitive problems have been updated to the most ­ recent information available. The problem sets remain classified according to purpose. The ‘Are You Prepared?’ problems have been ­improved to better serve their purpose as a just-in-time review of concepts that the student will need to apply in the upcoming section. The Concepts and Vocabulary problems have been expanded to cover each objective of the section. These multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and True/False e­ xercises have been written to also serve as reading quizzes. Skill Building problems develop the student’s computational skills with a large selection of exercises that are directly related to the objectives of the section. Mixed Practice problems offer a comprehensive ­assessment of skills that relate to more than one objective. Often these require skills learned earlier in the course. Applications and Extensions problems have been updated. Further, many new application-type exercises have been added, especially ones involving information and data drawn from sources the student will recognize, to improve relevance and timeliness. At the end of Applications and Extensions, we have a collection of one or more Challenge Problems. These problems, as the title suggests, are intended to be thought-provoking, requiring some ingenuity to solve. They can be used for group work or to challenge students. At the end of the Annotated Instructor’s ­

­ dition and in the online Instructor’s Solutions Manual, E we have provided solutions to all these problems. The Explaining Concepts: Discussion and Writing ­exercises provide opportunity for classroom discussion and group projects. Updated! Retain Your Knowledge has been improved and expanded. The problems are based on material learned earlier in the course, especially calculus-related material. They serve to keep information that has already been learned “fresh” in the mind of the ­student. Answers to all these problems appear in the ­Student ­Edition. NEW Need to Review? These margin notes provide a ­just-in-time reminder of a concept needed now, but ­covered in an earlier section of the book. Each note includes a reference to the chapter, section and page where the concept was originally discussed.

Chapter 1 • NEW Section 1.2 Example 9 Testing an Equation for Symmetry • Section 1.3 has been reorganized to treat the ­slope-­intercept form of the equation of a line before finding an equation of a line using two points.

Content Changes to the 11th edition

Chapter 3 • Section 3.3 introduces the concept of concavity for a quadratic function • NEW Section 3.3 Example 3 Graphing a Quadratic Function Using Its Vertex, Axis, and Intercepts • Section 3.3 Example 8 Analyzing the Motion of a ­Projectile (formerly in Section 3.4) • NEW Section 3.4 Example 4 Fitting a Quadratic ­Function to Data

• Challenge Problems have been added in most ­sections at the end of the Application and Extensions exercises. Challenge Problems are intended to be thought-provoking problems that require some i­ ngenuity to solve. They can be used to challenge s­ tudents or for group work. Solutions to Challenge Problems are available in the ­ Annotated Instructor’s Edition and the online Instructors Solutions Manual. • Need to Review? These margin notes provide a just-in-time review for a concept needed now, but ­covered in an earlier section of the book. Each note is back-referenced to the chapter, section and page where the concept was originally discussed. • Additional Retain Your Knowledge exercises, whose purpose is to keep learned material fresh in a student’s mind, have been added to each section. Many of these new problems preview skills required for calculus or for concepts needed in subsequent sections. • Desmos screen captures have been added throughout the text. This is done to recognize that graphing ­technology expands beyond graphing calculators. • Examples and exercises throughout the text have been augmented to reflect a broader selection of STEM ­applications. • Concepts and Vocabulary exercises have been­ expanded to cover each objective of a section. • Skill building exercises have been expanded to assess a wider range of difficulty. • Applied problems and those based on real data have been updated where appropriate. Appendix A • Section A.10 Objective 3 now includes rationalizing the numerator   NEW Example 6 Rationalizing Numerators   Problems 69-76 provide practice. • Section A.10 Exercises now include more practice in ­simplifying radicals

Chapter 2 • NEW Section 2.1 Objective 1 Describe a Relation • NEW Section 2.2 Example 4 Expending Energy • NEW Section 2.4 Example 4 Analyzing a Piecewise-defined Function • NEW Example 1 Describing a Relation demonstrates using the Rule of Four to express a relation numerically, as a mapping, and graphically given a verbal description.

Chapter 4 • Section 4.1 has been revised and split into two sections:   4.1 Polynomial Functions   4.2 Graphing Polynomial Functions; Models • NEW Section 4.2 Example 2 Graphing a Polynomial Function (a 4th degree polynomial function) Chapter 5 • Section 5.2 now finds and verifies inverse functions ­analytically and graphically. Chapter 6 • NEW Section 6.1 Example 6 Field Width of a Digital Lens Reflex Camera Lens • Section 6.4 and 6.5 were reorganized for increased clarity. Chapter 7 • Sections 7.1 and 7.2 were reorganized for increased clarity. Chapter 9 • Section 9.3 The complex plane; DeMoivre’s Theorem, was rewritten to support the exponential form of a ­complex number.  Euler’s Formula is introduced to express a complex number in exponential form.  The exponential form of a complex number is used to compute products and quotients.  DeMoivre’s Theorem is expressed using the ­exponential form of a complex number.   The exponential form is used to find complex roots.

How to Value a House Two things to consider in valuing a home: (1) How does it compare to similar nearby homes that have sold recently? (2) What value do you place on the advertised features and amenities? The Zestimate® home value is a good starting point in figuring out the value of a home. It shows you how the home compares relative to others in the area, but you then need to add in all the other qualities that only someone who has seen the house knows.

Looking at “comps” Knowing whether an asking price is fair will be important when you’re ready to make an offer on a house. It will be even more important when your mortgage lender hires an appraiser to determine whether the house is worth the loan you’re after. Check on Zillow to see recent sales of similar, or comparable, homes in the area. Print them out and keep these “comps.” You’ll be referring to them quite a bit. Note that “recent sales” usually means within the past six months. A sales price from a year ago probably bears little or no relation to what is going on in your area right now. In fact, some lenders will not accept comps older than three months. Market activity also determines how easy or difficult it is to find accurate comps. In a “hot” or busy market, you’re likely to have lots of comps to choose from. In a less active market finding reasonable comps becomes harder. And if the home you’re looking at has special design features, finding a comparable property is harder still. It’s also necessary to know what’s going on in a given sub-segment. Maybe large, high-end homes are selling like hotcakes, but owners of smaller houses are staying put, or vice versa.

Here we connect algebra and geometry using the rectangular coordinate system. In the 1600s, algebra had developed to the point that René Descartes (1596–1650) and Pierre de Fermat (1601–1665) were able to use rectangular coordinates to translate geometry problems into algebra problems, and vice versa. This enabled both geometers and algebraists to gain new insights into their subjects, which had been thought to be separate but now were seen as connected.

Figure 3 

We locate a point on the real number line by assigning it a single real number, called the coordinate of the point. For work in a two-dimensional plane, we locate points by using two numbers. Begin with two real number lines located in the same plane: one horizontal and the other vertical. The horizontal line is called the x-axis, the vertical line the y-axis, and the point of intersection the origin O. See Figure 1. Assign coordinates to every point on these number lines using a convenient scale. In mathematics, we usually use the same scale on each axis, but in applications, different scales appropriate to the application may be used. The origin O has a value of 0 on both the x-axis and the y-axis. Points on the x-axis to the right of O are associated with positive real numbers, and those to the left of O are associated with negative real numbers. Points on the y-axis above O are associated with positive real numbers, and those below O are associated with negative real numbers. In Figure 1, the x-axis and y-axis are labeled as x and y, respectively, and an arrow at the end of each axis is used to denote the positive direction. The coordinate system described here is called a rectangular or Cartesian* coordinate system. The x-axis and y-axis lie in a plane called the xy-plane, and the x-axis and y-axis are referred to as the coordinate axes. Any point P in the xy-plane can be located by using an ordered pair (x, y) of real numbers. Let x denote the signed distance of P from the y-axis (signed means that if P is to the right of the y-axis, then x 7 0, and if P is to the left of the y-axis, then x 6 0); and let y denote the signed distance of P from the x-axis. The ordered pair (x, y), also called the coordinates of P, gives us enough information to locate the point P in the plane. For example, to locate the point whose coordinates are 1 - 3, 12, go 3 units along the x-axis to the left of O and then go straight up 1 unit. We plot this point by placing a dot at this location. See Figure 2, in which the points with coordinates 1 - 3, 12, 1 - 2, - 32, 13, - 22, and (3, 2) are plotted. The origin has coordinates (0, 0). Any point on the x-axis has coordinates of the form (x, 0), and any point on the y-axis has coordinates of the form (0, y). If (x, y) are the coordinates of a point P, then x is called the x-coordinate, or abscissa, of P, and y is the y-coordinate, or ordinate, of P. We identify the point P by its coordinates (x, y) by writing P = 1x, y2. Usually, we will simply say “the point (x, y)” rather than “the point whose coordinates are (x, y).” The coordinate axes partition the xy-plane into four sections called quadrants, as shown in Figure 3. In quadrant I, both the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of all points are positive; in quadrant II, x is negative and y is positive; in quadrant III, both x and y are negative; and in quadrant IV, x is positive and y is negative. Points on the coordinate axes belong to no quadrant. Now Work

Finding the Distance between Two Points Find the distance d between the points (1, 3) and (5, 6).

Solution Need to Review? The Pythagorean Theorem and its converse are discussed in Section A.2, pp. A14–A15.

First plot the points (1, 3) and (5, 6) and connect them with a line segment. See  Figure  5(a). To find the length d, begin by drawing a horizontal line segment from (1, 3) to (5, 3) and a vertical line segment from (5, 3) to (5, 6), forming a right triangle, as shown in Figure 5(b). One leg of the triangle is of length 4 (since 0 5 - 1 0 = 4), and the other is of length 3 (since 0 6 - 3 0 = 3). By the Pythagorean Theorem, the square of the distance d that we seek is d 2 = 42 + 32 = 16 + 9 = 25

The distance formula provides a straightforward method for computing the distance between two points. THEOREM  Distance Formula

In Words

To compute the distance between two points, find the difference of the x-coordinates, square it, and add this to the square of the difference of the y-coordinates. The square root of this sum is the distance.



The distance between two points P1 = 1x1, y1 2 and P2 = 1x2, y2 2, denoted by d 1P1, P2 2, is d 1P1, P2 2 = 2 1x2 - x1 2 2 + 1y2 - y1 2 2 (1)

Proof of the Distance Formula  Let 1x1, y1 2 denote the coordinates of point P1 and let 1x2, y2 2 denote the coordinates of point P2.

• Assume that the line joining P1 and P2 is neither horizontal nor vertical. ­Refer to Figure 6(a) on the next page. The coordinates of P3 are 1x2, y1 2. The ­horizontal

CHAPTER 1 Graphs

distance from P1 to P3 equals the absolute value of the difference of the x-coordinates, 0 x2 - x1 0 . The vertical distance from P3 to P2 equals the ­absolute value of the difference of the y-coordinates, 0 y2 - y1 0 . See Figure 6(b). The ­distance d 1P1, P2 2 is the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle, so, by the Pythagorean Theorem, it follows that 3 d 1P1, P2 2 4 2 = 0 x2 - x1 0 2 + 0 y2 - y1 0 2

= 1x2 - x1 2 2 + 1y2 - y1 2 2

The distance between two points P1 = 1x1, y1 2 and P2 = 1x2, y2 2 is never a negative number. Also, the distance between two points is 0 only when the points are identical—that is, when x1 = x2 and y1 = y2. And, because 1x2 - x1 2 2 = 1x1 - x2 2 2 and 1y2 - y1 2 2 = 1y1 - y2 2 2, it makes no difference whether the distance is computed from P1 to P2 or from P2 to P1; that is, d 1P1, P2 2 = d 1P2, P1 2. The introduction to this chapter mentioned that rectangular coordinates enable us to translate geometry problems into algebra problems, and vice versa. The next example shows how algebra (the distance formula) can be used to solve geometry problems.

(a) Figure 8 shows the points A, B, C and the triangle ABC. (b) To find the length of each side of the triangle, use the distance formula, equation (1).

(c) If the sum of the squares of the lengths of two of the sides equals the square of the length of the third side, then the triangle is a right triangle. Looking at Figure 8, it seems reasonable to conjecture that the angle at vertex B might be a right angle. We shall check to see whether

Figure 8

The triangles P1 AM and MBP2 are congruent. [Do you see why? d 1P1, M2 = d 1M, P2 2 is given; also, ∠AP1 M = ∠BMP2* and  ∠P1 MA = ∠MP2 B.

CHAPTER 1 Graphs

Graph Equations by Plotting Points An equation in two variables, say x and y, is a statement in which two expressions involving x and y are equal. The expressions are called the sides of the equation. Since an equation is a statement, it may be true or false, depending on the value of the variables. Any values of x and y that result in a true statement are said to satisfy the equation. For example, the following are all equations in two variables x and y: x2 + y 2 = 5

2x - y = 6

x2 = y

y = 2x + 5

The first of these, x2 + y2 = 5, is satisfied for x = 1, y = 2, since 12 + 22 = 5. Other choices of x and y, such as x = - 1, y = - 2, also satisfy this equation. It is not satisfied for x = 2 and y = 3, since 22 + 32 = 4 + 9 = 13 ≠ 5. The graph of an equation in two variables x and y consists of the set of points in the xy-plane whose coordinates (x, y) satisfy the equation. Graphs play an important role in helping us to visualize the relationships that exist between two variables or quantities. Table 1 shows the average price of gasoline in the United States for the years 1991–2017 (adjusted for inflation). If we plot these data using year as the x-coordinate and price as the y-coordinate, and then connect the points (year, price), we obtain Figure 11.

The graphs of the equations shown in Figures 12 and 13 do not show all points. For example, in Figure 12, the point (20, 45) is a part of the graph of y = 2x + 5, but it is not shown. Since the graph of y = 2x + 5 can be extended out indefinitely, we use arrows to indicate that the pattern shown continues. It is important, when showing a graph, to present enough of the graph so that any viewer of the illustration will “see” the rest of it as an obvious continuation of what is actually there. This is referred to as a complete graph. One way to obtain the complete graph of an equation is to plot enough points on the graph for a pattern to become evident. Then these points are connected with a smooth curve following the suggested pattern. But how many points are sufficient? Sometimes knowledge about the equation tells us. For example, we will learn in the next section that if an equation is of the form y = mx + b, then its graph is a line. In this case, only two points are needed to obtain the complete graph. One purpose of this text is to investigate the properties of equations in order to decide whether a graph is complete. Sometimes we shall graph equations by plotting points. Shortly, we shall investigate various techniques that will enable us to graph an equation without plotting so many points. Two techniques that sometimes reduce the number of points required to graph an equation involve finding intercepts and checking for symmetry.

CHAPTER 1 Graphs

Find Intercepts from a Graph The points, if any, at which a graph crosses or touches the coordinate axes are called the intercepts of the graph. See Figure 14. The x-coordinate of a point at which the graph crosses or touches the x-axis is an x-intercept, and the y-coordinate of a point at which the graph crosses or touches the y-axis is a y-intercept.

Intercepts are points (ordered pairs). An x-intercept or a y-intercept is a number. For example, the point (3, 0) is an intercept; the number 3 is an x-intercept.

3 Find Intercepts from an Equation The intercepts of a graph can be found from its equation by using the fact that points on the x-axis have y-coordinates equal to 0, and points on the y-axis have x-coordinates equal to 0. COMMENT  For many equations, finding intercepts may not be so easy. In such cases, a graphing utility can be used. Read the first part of Section B.3, Using a Graphing Utility to Locate Intercepts and Check for Symmetry, to find out how to locate intercepts using a graphing utility. ■

Procedure for Finding Intercepts

• To find the x-intercept(s), if any, of the graph of an equation, let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x, where x is a real number. • To find the y-intercept(s), if any, of the graph of an equation, let x = 0 in the equation and solve for y, where y is a real number.

Finding Intercepts from an Equation Find the x-intercept(s) and the y-intercept(s) of the graph of y = x2 - 4. Then graph y = x2 - 4 by plotting points.

Since x2 Ú 0 for all x, we deduce from the equation y = x2 - 4 that y Ú - 4 for all x. This information, the intercepts, and the points from Table 3 enable us to graph y = x2 - 4. See Figure 16.

4 Test an Equation for Symmetry with Respect to the x-Axis, the y-Axis, and the Origin

Another helpful tool for graphing equations by hand involves symmetry, particularly symmetry with respect to the x-axis, the y-axis, and the origin. Symmetry often occurs in nature. Consider the picture of the butterfly. Do you see the symmetry?

A graph is symmetric with respect to the x-axis if, for every point (x, y) on the graph, the point 1x, - y2 is also on the graph. Figure 17 illustrates the definition. Note that when a graph is symmetric with respect to the x-axis, the part of the graph above the x-axis is a reflection (or mirror image) of the part below it, and vice versa.

When the graph of an equation is symmetric with respect to a coordinate axis or the origin, the number of points that you need to plot in order to see the pattern is reduced. For example, if the graph of an equation is symmetric with respect to the y-axis, then once points to the right of the y-axis are plotted, an equal number of points on the graph can be obtained by reflecting them about the y-axis. Because of this, before we graph an equation, we should first determine whether it has any symmetry. The following tests are used for this purpose. Tests for Symmetry To test the graph of an equation for symmetry with respect to the

If an equivalent equation results, the graph of the equation is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. Origin Replace x by - x and y by - y in the equation and simplify. If an equivalent equation results, the graph of the equation is symmetric with respect to the origin.

x-Axis:  To test for symmetry with respect to the x-axis, replace y by - y. Since 4x2 + 9 1 - y2 2 = 36 is equivalent to 4x2 + 9y2 = 36, the graph of the equation is symmetric with respect to the x-axis. y-Axis:  To test for symmetry with respect to the y-axis, replace x by - x. Since 4 1 - x2 2 + 9y2 = 36 is equivalent to 4x2 + 9y2 = 36, the graph of the equation is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. Origin: To test for symmetry with respect to the origin, replace x by - x and y by  - y. Since 41 - x2 2 + 91 - y2 2 = 36 is equivalent to 4x2 + 9y2 = 36, the graph of the equation is symmetric with respect to the origin.

Graphing the Equation y = x3 by Finding Intercepts, Checking for Symmetry, and Plotting Points Graph the equation y = x3 by plotting points. Find any intercepts and check for symmetry first.

Solution

x-Axis: Replace y by - y. Since - y = x3 is not equivalent to y = x3, the graph is not symmetric with respect to the x-axis. y-Axis: Replace x by - x. Since y = 1 - x2 3 = - x3 is not equivalent to y = x3, the graph is not symmetric with respect to the y-axis. Origin: Replace x by - x and y by - y. Since - y = 1 - x2 3 = - x3 is equivalent to y = x3 (multiply both sides by - 1), the graph is symmetric with respect to the origin.

To graph y = x3, use the equation to obtain several points on the graph. Because of the symmetry, we need to locate only points on the graph for which x Ú 0. See Table 4. Since (1, 1) is on the graph, and the graph is symmetric with respect to the origin, the point 1 - 1, - 12 is also on the graph. Plot the points from Table 4 and use the symmetry.

(a) The lone intercept is (0, 0). The graph is symmetric with respect to the x-axis. (Do you see why? Replace y by - y.) Figure 23(a) shows the graph. (b) If we restrict y so that y Ú 0, the equation x = y2, y Ú 0, may be written equivalently as y = 2x. The portion of the graph of x = y2 in quadrant I is therefore the graph of y = 1x.

Calculate and Interpret the Slope of a Line Line

Rise Run

Figure 26 

Consider the staircase illustrated in Figure 26. Each step contains exactly the same horizontal run and the same vertical rise. The ratio of the rise to the run, called the slope, is a numerical measure of the steepness of the staircase. For example, if the run is increased and the rise remains the same, the staircase becomes less steep. If the run is kept the same but the rise is increased, the staircase becomes more steep. This important characteristic of a line is best defined using rectangular coordinates. DEFINITION  Slope Let P = 1x1, y1 2 and Q = 1x2, y2 2 be two distinct points. If x1 ≠ x2, the slope m of the nonvertical line L containing P and Q is defined by the formula

m =

y2 - y1 x2 - x1

x1 ≠ x2 (1)

If x1 = x2, then L is a vertical line and the slope m of L is undefined (since this results in division by 0).

m =

or as m =

That is, the slope m of a nonvertical line measures the amount y changes when x ∆y is called the average rate of change of y changes from x1 to x2. The expression ∆x with respect to x. Two comments about computing the slope of a nonvertical line may prove helpful:

• Any two distinct points on the line can be used to compute the slope of the

line. (See Figure 28 for justification.) Since any two distinct points can be used to compute the slope of a line, the average rate of change of a line is always the same number. y

3 Find the Equation of a Vertical Line E XAM PLE 4

Graphing a Line Graph the equation: x = 3

Solution

To graph x = 3, we find all points (x, y) in the plane for which x = 3. No matter what y-coordinate is used, the corresponding x-coordinate always equals 3. Consequently, the graph of the equation x = 3 is a vertical line with x-intercept 3 and an undefined slope. See Figure 34 . y 3 (3, 2) (3, 1) 21 21

THEOREM  Equation of a Vertical Line A vertical line is given by an equation of the form x = a where a is the x-intercept.

COMMENT  To graph an equation using most graphing utilities, we need to express the equation in the form y = 5expression in x6. But x = 3 cannot be put in this form. To overcome this, most graphing utilities have special commands for drawing vertical lines. DRAW, LINE, PLOT, and VERT are among the more common ones. Consult your manual to determine the correct methodology for your graphing utility. ■

7 Graph Lines Written in General Form Using Intercepts DEFINITION  General Form The equation of a line is in general form* when it is written as

Ax + By = C (4) where A, B, and C are real numbers and A and B are not both 0.

If B = 0 in equation (4), then A ≠ 0 and the graph of the equation is a vertical C line: x = . A If B ≠ 0 in equation (4), then we can solve the equation for y and write the equation in slope-intercept form as we did in Example 7. One way to graph a line given in general form, equation (4), is to find its intercepts. Remember, the intercepts of the graph of an equation are the points where the graph crosses or touches a coordinate axis.

E XAM PLE 9

Graphing an Equation in General Form Using Its Intercepts Graph the equation 2x + 4y = 8 by finding its intercepts.

The equation of every line can be written in general form. For example, a vertical line whose equation is x = a can be written in the general form

1 # x + 0 # y = a A = 1, B = 0, C = a

A horizontal line whose equation is y = b can be written in the general form

0 # x + 1 # y = b A = 0, B = 1, C = b

Lines that are neither vertical nor horizontal have general equations of the form Ax + By = C

A ≠ 0 and B ≠ 0

Because the equation of every line can be written in general form, any equation equivalent to equation (4) is called a linear equation.

Figure 43  Parallel lines

When two lines (in the plane) do not intersect (that is, they have no points in common), they are parallel. Look at Figure 43. We have drawn two parallel lines and have constructed two right triangles by drawing sides parallel to the coordinate axes. The right triangles are similar. (Do you see why? Two angles are equal.) Because the triangles are similar, the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.

THEOREM  Criteria for Parallel Lines Two nonvertical lines are parallel if and only if their slopes are equal and they have different y-intercepts. The use of the phrase “if and only if” in the preceding theorem means that actually two statements are being made, one the converse of the other.

• If two nonvertical lines are parallel, then their slopes are equal and they have •

Finding a Line That Is Parallel to a Given Line Find an equation for the line that contains the point 12, - 32 and is parallel to the line 2x + y = 6.

Since the two lines are to be parallel, the slope of the line containing the point 12, - 32 equals the slope of the line 2x + y = 6. Begin by writing the equation of the line 2x + y = 6 in slope-intercept form. 2x + y = 6

CHAPTER 1 Graphs y Slope m2 A = (1, m2)

Slope m1

Rise = m 2 O

Run = 1 1

x Rise = m1

B = (1, m1)

Proof  Let m1 and m2 denote the slopes of the two lines. There is no loss in generality (that is, neither the angle nor the slopes are affected) if we situate the lines so that they meet at the origin. See Figure 47. The point A = 11, m2 2 is on the line having slope m2, and the point B = 11, m1 2 is on the line having slope m1. (Do you see why this must be true?) Suppose that the lines are perpendicular. Then triangle OAB is a right triangle. As a result of the Pythagorean Theorem, it follows that 3 d 1O, A2 4 2 + 3 d 1O, B2 4 2 = 3 d 1A, B2 4 2 (5)

Using the distance formula, the squares of these distances are 3 d 1O, A2 4 2 = 11 - 02 2 + 1m2 - 02 2 = 1 + m22

Figure 47 

3 d 1O, B2 4 2 = 11 - 02 2 + 1m1 - 02 2 = 1 + m21

3 d 1A, B2 4 2 = 11 - 12 2 + 1m2 - m1 2 2 = m22 - 2m1 m2 + m21

Using these facts in equation (5), we get

11 + m22 2 + 11 + m21 2 = m22 - 2m1 m2 + m21

which, upon simplification, can be written as

m1 m2 = - 1 If the lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is - 1.

■

In Problem 138, you are asked to prove the “if” part of the theorem:

If two nonvertical lines have slopes whose product is - 1, then the lines are perpendicular. You may find it easier to remember the condition for two nonvertical lines to be perpendicular by observing that the equality m1 m2 = - 1 means that m1 and m2 are negative reciprocals of each other; that is, m1 = -

CHAPTER 1 Graphs

Write the Standard Form of the Equation of a Circle y

One advantage of a coordinate system is that it enables us to translate a geometric statement into an algebraic statement, and vice versa. Consider, for example, the following geometric statement that defines a circle.

(x, y) r

DEFINITION  Circle

(h, k)

A circle is a set of points in the xy-plane that are a fixed distance r from a fixed point (h, k). The fixed distance r is called the radius, and the fixed point (h, k) is called the center of the circle.

x

Figure 49 

Figure 49 shows the graph of a circle. To find the equation, let (x, y) represent the coordinates of any point on a circle with radius r and center (h, k). Then the distance between the points (x, y) and (h, k) must always equal r. That is, by the distance formula,

1x - h2 2 + 1y - k2 2 = r2

Need to Review? The distance formula is discussed in Section 1.1, pp. 3–4.

or, equivalently,

2 1x - h2 2 + 1y - k2 2 = r 1x - h2 2 + 1y - k2 2 = r 2

DEFINITION  Standard Form of an Equation of a Circle The standard form of an equation of a circle with radius r and center (h, k) is 1x - h2 2 + 1y - k2 2 = r 2 (1)



THEOREM  The standard form of an equation of a circle of radius r with center at the origin (0, 0) is x2 + y 2 = r 2 y 1

If the radius r = 1, the circle whose center is at the origin is called the unit circle and has the equation x2 + y 2 = 1

1x - h2 2 + 1y - k2 2 = r 2

We see that h = - 3, k = 2, and r = 4. The circle has center 1 - 3, 22 and radius 4. To graph this circle, first plot the center 1 - 3, 22. Since the radius is 4, locate four points on the circle by plotting points 4 units to the left, to the right, up, and down from the center. These four points are then used as guides to obtain the graph. See Figure 51. Now Work

Finding the Intercepts of a Circle Find the intercepts, if any, of the graph of the circle 1x + 32 2 + 1y - 22 2 = 16. This is the equation graphed in Example 2. To find the x-intercepts, if any, let y = 0. Then 1x + 32 2 + 1y - 22 2 = 16 1x + 32 2 + 10 - 22 2 = 16

The x-intercepts are - 3 - 223 ≈ - 6.46 and - 3 + 223 ≈ 0.46. To find the y-intercepts, if any, let x = 0. Then 1x + 32 2 + 1y - 22 2 = 16 10 + 32 2 + 1y - 22 2 = 16 9 + 1y - 22 2 = 16 1y - 22 2 = 7

CHAPTER 1 Graphs

3 Work with the General Form of the Equation of a Circle If we eliminate the parentheses from the standard form of the equation of the circle given in Example 2, we get 1x + 32 2 + 1y - 22 2 = 16 2 x + 6x + 9 + y2 - 4y + 4 = 16 which simplifies to x2 + y2 + 6x - 4y - 3 = 0 It can be shown that any equation of the form x2 + y2 + ax + by + c = 0 has a graph that is a circle, is a point, or has no graph at all. For example, the graph of the equation x2 + y2 = 0 is the single point (0, 0). The equation x2 + y2 + 5 = 0, or x2 + y2 = - 5, has no graph, because sums of squares of real numbers are never negative.

DEFINITION  General Form of the Equation of a Circle When its graph is a circle, the equation x2 + y2 + ax + by + c = 0 is the general form of the equation of a circle. Now Work

I. Determining the Selling Price of a Home Determining how much to pay for a home is one of the more difficult decisions that must be made when purchasing a home. There are many factors that play a role in a home’s value. Location, size, number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, lot size, and building materials are just a few. Fortunately, the website Zillow.com has developed its own formula for predicting the selling price of a home. This information is a great tool for predicting the actual sale price. For example, the data to the right show the “zestimate”—the selling price of a home as predicted by the folks at Zillow—and the actual selling price of the home, for homes in Oak Park, Illinois.

Functions and Their Graphs Choosing a Data Plan When selecting a data plan for a device, most consumers choose a service provider first and then select an appropriate data plan from that provider. The choice as to the type of plan selected depends on your use of the device. For example, is online gaming important? Do you want to stream audio or video? The mathematics learned in this chapter can help you decide what plan is best suited to your particular needs.

A Look Back So far, our discussion has focused on techniques for graphing equations containing two variables.

A Look Ahead In this chapter, we look at a special type of equation involving two variables called a function. This chapter deals with what a function is, how to graph functions, properties of functions, and how functions are used in applications. The word function apparently was introduced by René Descartes in 1637. For him, a function was simply any positive integral power of a variable x. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646—1716), who always emphasized the geometric side of mathematics, used the word function to denote any quantity associated with a curve, such as the coordinates of a point on the curve. Leonhard Euler (1707—1783) used the word to mean any equation or formula involving variables and constants. His idea of a function is similar to the one most often seen in courses that precede calculus. Later, the use of functions in investigating heat flow equations led to a very broad definition that originated with Lejeune Dirichlet (1805—1859), which describes a function as a correspondence between two sets. That is the definition used in this text.

Often there are situations where one variable is somehow linked to another variable. For example, the price of a gallon of gas is linked to the price of a barrel of oil. A person can be associated to her telephone number(s). The volume V of a sphere depends on its radius R. The force F exerted by an object corresponds to its acceleration a. These are examples of a relation, a correspondence between two sets called the domain and the range.

DEFINITION  Relation A relation is a correspondence between two sets: a set X, called the domain, and a set Y, called the range. In a relation, each element from the domain corresponds to at least one element from the range.

If x is an element of the domain and y is an element of the range, and if a relation exists from x to y, then we say that y corresponds to x or that y depends on x, and we write x S y. It is often helpful to think of x as the input and y as the output of the relation. See Figure 1. Suppose an astronaut standing on the Moon throws a rock 20 meters up and starts a stopwatch as the rock begins to fall back down. The astronaut measures the height of the rock at 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, and 5 seconds and obtains heights of 19.2, 16.8, 15, 12.8, 7.2, and 0 meters, respectively.  This is an example of a relation expressed verbally. The domain of the relation is the set 5 0, 1, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 56 and the range of the relation is the set 5 20, 19.2, 16.8, 15, 12.8, 7.2, 06 . The astronaut could also express this relation numerically, graphically, or algebraically. The relation can be expressed numerically using a table of numbers, as in Table 1, or by using a set of ordered pairs. Using ordered pairs, the relation is 510, 202, 11, 19.22, 12, 16.82, 12.5, 152, 13, 12.82 , 14, 7.22, 15, 026

where the first element of each pair denotes the time and the second element denotes the height. Suppose x represents the number of seconds on the stopwatch and y represents the height of the rock in meters. Then the relation can be expressed graphically by plotting the points (x, y). See Figure 2 on the next page. The relation can be represented as a mapping by drawing an arrow from an element in the domain to the corresponding element in the range. See Figure 3 on the next page.

Describing a Relation A verbal description of a relation is given below. The price of First Class U.S. postage stamps has changed over the years. To mail a letter in 2015 cost $0.49. In 2016 it cost $0.49 for part of the year and $0.47 for the rest of the year. In 2017 it cost $0.47 for part of the year and $0.49 for the rest of the year.

The relation establishes a correspondence between the input, year, and the output, price of a First Class U.S. postage stamp. (a) The domain of the relation is 5 2015, 2016, 2017, 20186 . The range of the relation is 5 +0.47, +0.49, +0.506 .

Look back at the relation involving the height of a rock on the Moon described at the beginning of the section. Notice that each input, time, corresponds to exactly one output, height. Given a time, you could tell the exact height of the rock. But that is not the case with the price of stamps. Given the year 2018, you cannot determine the price of a stamp with certainty. It could be $0.49, or it could be $0.50. Consider the mapping of the relation in Figure 6. It shows a correspondence between a substance and its specific heat. Notice that for each substance you can tell its specific heat with certainty. The relation associating the time to the height of the rock is a function, and the relation associating a given substance to its specific heat is a function. But the relation associating the year to the price of a First Class postage stamp is not a function. To be a function, each input must correspond to exactly one output. DEFINITION  Function Let X and Y be two nonempty sets.* A function from X into Y is a relation that associates with each element of X exactly one element of Y. The set X is called the domain of the function. For each element x in X, the corresponding element y in Y is called the value of the function at x, or the image of x. The set of all images of the elements in the domain is called the range of the function. See Figure 7. Since there may be some elements in Y that are not the image of some x in X, it follows that the range of a function may be a proper subset of Y, as shown in Figure 7. The idea behind a function is its certainty. If an input is given, we can use the function to determine the output. This is not possible if a relation is not a function. The requirement of “one output” provides a predictable behavior that is important when using mathematics to model or analyze the real world. It allows doctors to know exactly how much medicine to give a patient, an engineer to determine the material to use in construction, a store manager to choose how many units to keep in stock, etc.

Solution

(a) The domain of the relation is {Cheeseburger, McChicken, Bacon McDouble, Triple Cheeseburger, Happy Meal}, and the range of the relation is 5 +1, +2, +36 . The relation in Figure 8 is a function because each element in the domain corresponds to exactly one element in the range.

(c) The domain of the relation is 5 122, 201, 240, 2846 , and the range of the relation is 5 5, 8, 12, 15, 206 . The relation in Figure 10 is not a function because there is an element in the domain, 240, that corresponds to two elements in the range, 12 and 20. If a gestation period of 240 days is selected from the domain, a single life expectancy cannot be associated with it. Now Work

We may also think of a function as a set of ordered pairs (x, y) in which no ordered pairs have the same first element and different second elements. The set of all first elements x is the domain of the function, and the set of all second elements y is its range. Each element x in the domain corresponds to exactly one element y in the range.

(a) The domain of this relation is 5 1, 2, 3, 46 , and its range is 5 4, 5, 6, 76 . This relation is a function because there are no ordered pairs with the same first element and different second elements. (b) The domain of this relation is 5 1, 2, 3, 66 , and its range is 5 4, 5, 106 . This relation is a function because there are no ordered pairs with the same first element and different second elements. (c) The domain of this relation is 5 - 3, - 2, 0, 16 , and its range is 5 0, 1, 4, 8, 96 . This relation is not a function because there are two ordered pairs, 1 - 3, 92 and 1 - 3, 82, that have the same first element and different second elements. In Example 3(b), notice that 1 and 2 in the domain both have the same image in the range. This does not violate the definition of a function; two different first elements can have the same second element. The definition is violated when two ordered pairs have the same first element and different second elements, as in Example 3(c). Now Work

Up to now we have shown how to identify when a relation is a function for relations defined by mappings (Example 2) and ordered pairs (Example 3). But relations can also be expressed as equations.

It is usually easiest to determine whether an equation, where y depends on x, is a function, when the equation is solved for y. If any value of x in the domain corresponds to more than one y, the equation does not define a function; otherwise, it does define a function.

E XAM PLE 4

Determining Whether an Equation Is a Function Determine whether the equation y = 2x - 5 defines y as a function of x.

Solution

y

The equation tells us to take an input x, multiply it by 2, and then subtract 5. For any input x, these operations yield only one output y, so the equation is a function. For example, if x = 1, then y = 2 # 1 - 5 = - 3. If x = 3, then y = 2 # 3 - 5 = 1.

Input x x

problem

If y = f1x2, then x is the input and y is the output corresponding to x.

It is common practice to denote functions by letters such as f, g, F, G, and others. If f is a function, then for each number x in the domain, the corresponding number y in the range is designated by the symbol f1x2, read as “f of x,” and we write y = f1x2. When a function is expressed in this way, we are using function notation. We refer to f(x) as the value of the function f at the number x. For example, the function in Example 4 may be written using function notation as y = f1x2 = 2x - 5. Then f112 = - 3 and f132 = 1. Sometimes it is helpful to think of a function f as a machine that receives as input a number from the domain, manipulates it, and outputs a value in the range. See Figure 13. The restrictions on this input/output machine are as follows: • It accepts only numbers from the domain of the function. • For each input, there is exactly one output (which may be repeated for different inputs).

For a function y = f1x2, the variable x is called the independent variable because it can be assigned any number from the domain. The variable y is called the dependent variable, because its value depends on x. Any symbols can be used to represent the independent and dependent variables. For example, if f is the cube function, then f can be given by f1x2 = x3 or f1t2 = t 3 or f1z2 = z3. All three functions are the same. Each says to cube the independent variable to get the output. In practice, the symbols used for the independent and dependent variables are based on common usage, such as using t for time and a for acceleration. The independent variable is also called the argument of the function. Thinking of the independent variable as an argument can sometimes make it easier to find the value of a function. For example, if f is the function defined by f1x2 = x3, then f tells us to cube the argument. Then f122 means to cube 2, f1a2 means to cube the number a, and f1x + h2 means to cube the quantity x + h.

Implicit Form of a Function In general, when a function f is defined by an equation in x and y, we say that the function f is given implicitly. If it is possible to solve the equation for y in terms of x, then we write y = f1x2 and say that the function is given explicitly. For example,

• For each x in the domain of a function f, there is exactly one image f1x2 in the range; however, more than one x in the domain can have the same image in the range. • f is the symbol that we use to denote the function. It is symbolic of the equation (rule) that we use to get from x in the domain to f 1x2 in the range. • If y = f1x2 , then x is the independent variable, or the argument of f, and y, or f1x2, is the dependent variable, or the value of f at x.

4 Find the Difference Quotient of a Function An important concept in calculus involves using a certain quotient. For a function f, the inputs x and x + h,  h ≠ 0, result in the values f1x2 and f1x + h2 . The quotient of their differences f1x + h2 - f1x2 f1x + h2 - f1x2 = 1x + h2 - x h

with h ≠ 0, is called the difference quotient of f at x. DEFINITION  Difference Quotient

The difference quotient of a function f at x is given by f1x + h2 - f1x2 h



h ≠ 0

(1)

The difference quotient is used in calculus to define the derivative, which leads to applications such as the velocity of an object and optimization of resources. When finding a difference quotient, it is necessary to simplify expression (1) so that the h in the denominator can be cancelled.

(a) The function f1x2 = x2 + 5x says to sum the square of a number and five times the number. Since these operations can be performed on any real number, the domain of f is the set of all real numbers. 3x (b) The function g1x2 = 2 says to divide 3x by x2 - 4. Since division by 0 is x - 4 not defined, the denominator x2 - 4 cannot be 0, so x cannot equal - 2 or 2. The domain of the function g is 5 x∙ x ≠ - 2, x ≠ 26 .

(c) The function h 1t2 = 24 - 3t says to take the square root of 4 - 3t. Since only nonnegative numbers have real square roots, the expression under the square root (the radicand) must be nonnegative (greater than or equal to zero).

Finding the Domain of a Function Defined by an Equation

• Start with the domain as the set of all real numbers. • If the equation has a denominator, exclude any numbers for which the denominator is zero. • If the equation has a radical with an even index, exclude any numbers for which the expression inside the radical (the radicand) is negative.

55

We express the domain of a function using interval notation, set notation, or words, whichever is most convenient. If x is in the domain of a function f, we say that f is defined at x, or f 1 x2 exists. If x is not in the domain of f, we say that f is not x defined at x, or f 1 x2 does not exist. For example, if f1x2 = 2 , then f 102 exists, x - 1 but f112 and f1 - 12 do not exist. (Do you see why?) When a function is defined by an equation, it can be difficult to find its range unless we also have a graph of the function. So we are usually content to find only the domain.

SECTION 2.1  Functions

When we use functions in applications, the domain may be restricted by physical or geometric considerations. For example, the domain of the function f defined by  f1x2 = x2 is the set of all real numbers. However, if f represents the area of a square whose sides are of length x, the domain of f is restricted to the positive real numbers, since the length of a side can never be 0 or negative.

6 Form the Sum, Difference, Product, and Quotient of Two Functions

Functions, like numbers, can be added, subtracted, multiplied, and divided. For example, if f1x2 = x2 + 9 and g1x2 = 3x + 5, then f1x2 + g1x2 = 1x2 + 92 + 13x + 52 = x2 + 3x + 14

The new function y = x2 + 3x + 14 is called the sum function f + g. Similarly, f1x2 # g1x2 = 1x2 + 92 13x + 52 = 3x3 + 5x2 + 27x + 45

In calculus, it is sometimes helpful to view a complicated function as the sum, difference, product, or quotient of simpler functions. For example, F1x2 = x2 + 1x is the sum of f1x2 = x2 and g1x2 = 1x.

H1x2 =

x2 - 1 x2 + 1

is the quotient of f1x2 = x2 - 1 and g1x2 = x2 + 1.

• A relation between two sets of real numbers so that each number x in the first set,

Unspecified domain

If a function f is defined by an equation and no domain is specified, then the domain is the largest set of real numbers for which f1x2 is a real number.

Function notation

the domain, corresponds to exactly one number y in the second set. • A set of ordered pairs 1x, y2 or 1x, f1x2 2 in which no first element is paired with two different second elements. • The range is the set of y-values of the function that are the images of the x-values in the domain. • A function f may be defined implicitly by an equation involving x and y or explicitly by writing y = f 1x2.

• y = f1x2 • f is a symbol for the function. • x is the independent variable, or argument. • y is the dependent variable. • f1x2 is the value of the function at x.

Price (dollars per gallon)

In Section 1.2 we saw how a graph can more clearly demonstrate the relationship between two variables. Consider the average gasoline price data and corresponding graph provided again for convenience in Table 2 and Figure 17.

Figure 17  Average retail price of gasoline (2017 dollars)

64 

CHAPTER 2  Functions and Their Graphs

We can see from the graph that the price of gasoline (adjusted for inflation) stayed roughly the same from 1993 to 1997 and was increasing from 2002 to 2008. The graph also shows that the lowest price occurred in 1998. Look again at Figure 17.  The graph shows that for each date on the horizontal axis, there is only one price on the vertical axis. The graph represents a function, although a rule for getting from date to price is not given. When a function is defined by an equation in x and y, the graph of the function is the graph of the equation; that is, it is the set of points 1x, y2 in the xy-plane that satisfy the equation.

Identify the Graph of a Function Not every collection of points in the xy-plane represents the graph of a function. Remember, for a function, each number x in the domain has exactly one image y in the range. This means that the graph of a function cannot contain two points with the same x-coordinate and different y-coordinates. Therefore, the graph of a function must satisfy the following vertical-line test.

If any vertical line intersects a graph at more than one point, the graph is not the graph of a function.

The graphs in Figures 18(a) and 18(b) are graphs of functions, because every vertical line intersects each graph in at most one point. The graphs in Figures 18(c) and 18(d) are not graphs of functions, because there is a vertical line that intersects each graph in more than one point. Notice in Figure 18(c) that the input 1 corresponds to two outputs, - 1 and 1. This is why the graph does not represent a function. Now Work

If 1x, y2 is a point on the graph of a function f, then y is the value of f at x; that is, y = f1x2. Also if y = f 1x2, then 1x, y2 is a point on the graph of f. For example, if 1 - 2, 72 is on the graph of f, then f1 - 22 = 7, and if f152 = 8, then the point 15, 82 is on the graph of y = f 1x2.

Obtaining Information from the Graph of a Function

Let f be the function whose graph is given in Figure 19. (The graph of f might represent the distance y that the bob of a pendulum is from its at-rest position at time x. Negative values of y mean that the pendulum is to the left of the at-rest position, and positive values of y mean that the pendulum is to the right of the­ at-rest position.)

Solution

(a) Since (0, 4) is on the graph of f, the y-coordinate 4 is the value of f at the 3p x-coordinate 0; that is, f102 = 4. In a similar way, when x = , then y = 0, 2 3p so f a b = 0. When x = 3p, then y = - 4, so f13p2 = - 4. 2 (b) To determine the domain of f, notice that the points on the graph of f have x-coordinates between 0 and 4p, inclusive; and for each number x between 0 and 4p, there is a point 1x, f1x22 on the graph. The domain of f is 5 x∙ 0 … x … 4p6 or the interval 3 0, 4p4 . (c) The points on the graph all have y-coordinates between - 4 and 4, inclusive; and for each such number y, there is at least one number x in the domain. The range of f is 5 y∙ - 4 … y … 46 or the interval 3 - 4, 44 . (d) The intercepts are the points p 3p 5p 10, 42, a , 0b , a , 0b , a , 0b , and 2 2 2

(f) Since 1p, - 42 and 13p, - 42 are the only points on the graph for which y = f 1x2 = - 4, we have f1x2 = - 4 when x = p and x = 3p.

NOTE  In Example 3, - 2 is not in the domain of f, so x + 2 is not zero and we can multiply both sides of the equation by x + 2. j

x + 1 = 2 f 1x 2 = 2 x + 2 x + 1 = 21x + 22  Multiply both sides by x + 2. x + 1 = 2x + 4 x = -3

Distribute. Solve for x.

If f1x2 = 2, then x = - 3. The point 1 - 3, 22 is on the graph of f. (e) The x-intercepts of the graph of f are the real solutions of the equation f1x2 = 0 that are in the domain of f. x + 1 = 0 x + 2 x + 1 = 0   x = -1

Multiply both sides by x + 2. Subtract 1 from both sides.

x + 1 = 0 is x = - 1, so - 1 is x + 2 the only x-intercept. Since f1 - 12 = 0, the point 1 - 1, 02 is on the graph of f.

32. Granny Shots  The last player in the NBA to use an underhand foul shot (a “granny” shot) was Hall of Fame forward Rick Barry, who retired in 1980. Barry believes that current NBA players could increase their free-throw percentage if they were to use an underhand shot. Since underhand shots are released from a lower position, the angle of the shot must be increased. If a player shoots an underhand foul shot, releasing the ball at a 70-degree angle from a position 3.5 feet above the floor, then the path of the ball can be modeled by 136x2 the function h1x2 = + 2.7x + 3.5, where h is the v2 height of the ball above the floor, x is the forward distance

of the ball in front of the foul line, and v is the initial velocity with which the ball is shot in feet per second. (a) The center of the hoop is 10 feet above the floor and 15 feet in front of the foul line. Determine the initial velocity with which the ball must be shot for the ball to go through the hoop. (b)  Write the function for the path of the ball using the velocity found in part (a). (c) Determine the height of the ball after it has traveled 9 feet in front of the foul line. (d)  Find additional points and graph the path of the basketball. Source: The Physics of Foul Shots, Discover, Vol. 21, No. 10, October 2000 33. Free-throw Shots  According to physicist Peter Brancazio, the key to a successful foul shot in basketball lies in the arc of the shot. Brancazio determined the optimal angle of the arc from the free-throw line to be 45 degrees. The arc also depends on the velocity with which the ball is shot. If a player shoots a foul shot, releasing the ball at a 45-degree angle from a position 6 feet above the floor, then the path of the ball can be modeled by the function 44x2 + x + 6 v2 where h is the height of the ball above the floor, x is the forward distance of the ball in front of the foul line, and v is the initial velocity with which the ball is shot in feet per second. Suppose a player shoots a ball with an initial velocity of 28 feet per second. (continued) h1x2 = -

To obtain the graph of a function y = f 1x2, it is often helpful to know properties of the function and the impact of these properties on the graph of the function.

Identify Even and Odd Functions from a Graph The words even and odd, when discussing a function f, describe the symmetry of the graph of the function. A function f is even if and only if, whenever the point 1x, y2 is on the graph of f, the point 1 - x, y2 is also on the graph. Using function notation, we define an even function as follows: DEFINITION  Even Function A function f is even if, for every number x in its domain, the number - x is also in the domain and f1 - x2 = f1x2

A function f is odd if and only if, whenever the point (x, y) is on the graph of f, the point 1 - x, - y2 is also on the graph. Using function notation, we define an odd function as follows: DEFINITION  Odd Function A function f is odd if, for every number x in its domain, the number - x is also in the domain and f1 - x2 = - f 1x2

Identifying Even and Odd Functions Algebraically Determine whether each of the following functions is even, odd, or neither. Then determine whether the graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis, with respect to the origin, or neither.

Solution

(a) f1x2 = x2 - 5

(b) g1x2 = x3 - 1

(c) h 1x2 = 5x3 - x

(d) F1x2 = 0 x 0

(a) To determine whether f is even, odd, or neither, replace x by - x in f 1x2 = x2 - 5. f1 - x2 = 1 - x2 2 - 5 = x2 - 5 = f1x2

Since f1 - x2 = f 1x2, the function is even, and the graph of f is symmetric with respect to the y-axis.

(b) Replace x by - x in g1x2 = x3 - 1.

g1 - x2 = 1 - x2 3 - 1 = - x3 - 1

Since g1 - x2 ≠ g1x2 and g1- x2 ≠ - g1x2 = - 1x3 - 12 = - x3 + 1, the function is neither even nor odd. The graph of g is not symmetric with respect to the y-axis, nor is it symmetric with respect to the origin.

(c) Replace x by - x in h 1x2 = 5x3 - x.

h 1 - x2 = 51 - x2 3 - 1 - x2 = - 5x3 + x = - 15x3 - x2 = - h 1x2

Since h 1 - x2 = - h 1x2, h is an odd function, and the graph of h is symmetric with respect to the origin.

(d) Replace x by - x in F1x2 = 0 x 0 .

F1 - x2 = 0 - x 0 = 0 - 1 0 # 0 x 0 = 0 x 0 = F1x2

Since F1 - x2 = F1x2, F is an even function, and the graph of F is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. Now Work

• If a function is increasing, then as the values of  x get bigger, the values of the function also get bigger. • If a function is decreasing, then as the values of x get bigger, the values of the function get smaller. • If a function is constant, then as the values of x get bigger, the values of the function remain unchanged.

• A function f is constant on an interval I if, for all choices of x in I, the values f1x2 are equal.

Figure 23 illustrates the definitions. The graph of an increasing function goes up from left to right, the graph of a decreasing function goes down from left to right, and the graph of a constant function remains at a fixed height. The interval I on which a function is increasing, decreasing, or constant may be open, closed, or half-open/half-closed depending on whether the endpoints of the interval satisfy the required inequality or not.

When determining where a function is increasing, where it is decreasing, and where it is constant, we use intervals involving the independent variable x. The function whose graph is given in Figure 24 is decreasing on the interval 3 - 6, - 44 because for any choice of x1 and x2 in the interval for which x1 6 x2, we have f1x1 2 7 f 1x2 2. For example, - 6 is included in the interval where f is decreasing because if x is any number for which - 6 6 x … - 4, then f 1 - 62 7 f1x2. Similarly, f is increasing on the interval 3 - 4, 04 because for any choice of x1 and x2 in the interval for which x1 6 x2, we have f1x1 2 6 f1x2 2.

DEFINITIONS  Local Maximum/Minimum Let f  be a function defined on some interval I and let c be a number in I. • A function f  has a local maximum at c if there is an open interval in I containing c so that f1c2 Ú f1x2 for all x in this open interval. The number f1c2 is called a local maximum value of f. A function f  has a local minimum at c if there is an open interval in I •  containing c so that f1c2 … f1x2 for all x in this open interval. The number f1c2 is called a local minimum value of f.

If f  has a local maximum at c, then the value of f at c is greater than or equal to the values of f  near c. If f  has a local minimum at c, then the value of f at c is less than or equal to the values of f near c. The word local is used to suggest that it is only near c, not necessarily over the entire domain, that the value f1c2 has these properties.

Look at the graph of the function f given in Figure 27.  The domain of f is the closed interval [a, b]. Also, the largest value of f is f1u2 and the smallest value of f is f1v2 . These are called, respectively, the absolute maximum and the absolute minimum of f on [a, b].

DEFINITIONS  Absolute Maximum and Absolute Minimum Let f be a function defined on some interval I. • If there is a number u in I for which f1u2 Ú f 1x2 for all x in I, then f has an absolute maximum at u, and the number f1u2 is the absolute maximum of f on I. • If there is a number v in I for which f1v2 … f 1x2 for all x in I, then f has an absolute minimum at v, and the number f1v2 is the absolute minimum of f on I.

The absolute maximum and absolute minimum of a function f are sometimes called the absolute extrema or the extreme values of f  on I. The absolute maximum or absolute minimum of a function f  may not exist. Let’s look at some examples.

Solution

(a) The function f whose graph is given in Figure 28(a) has the closed interval [0, 5] as its domain. The largest value of f is f132 = 6, the absolute maximum. The smallest value of f is f102 = 1, the absolute minimum. The function has a local maximum value of 6 at x = 3 and a local minimum value of 4 at x = 4. (b) The function f whose graph is given in Figure 28(b) has domain 5 x|1 … x … 5, x ≠ 36 . Note that we exclude 3 from the domain because of the “hole” at (3, 1). The largest value of f on its domain is f152 = 3, the absolute maximum. There is no absolute minimum. Do you see why? As you trace the graph, getting closer to the point (3, 1), there is no single smallest value. [As soon as you claim a smallest value, we can trace closer to (3, 1) and get a smaller value!] The function has no local maxima or minima. (c) The function f whose graph is given in Figure 28(c) has the interval [0, 5] as its domain. The absolute maximum of f is f152 = 4. The absolute minimum is 1. Notice that the absolute minimum occurs at any number in the interval [1, 2]. The function has a local minimum value of 1 at every x in the interval [1, 2], but it has no local maximum. (d) The function f given in Figure 28(d) has the interval 3 0, q 2 as its domain. The function has no absolute maximum; the absolute minimum is f 102 = 0. The function has no local maxima or local minima. (e) The function f in Figure 28(e) has domain 5 x∙ 1 6 x 6 5, x ≠ 26 . The function has no absolute maximum and no absolute minimum. Do you see why? The function has a local maximum value of 3 at x = 4, but no local minimum value. In calculus, there is a theorem with conditions that guarantee a function will have an absolute maximum and an absolute minimum. THEOREM  Extreme Value Theorem If a function f is continuous* on a closed interval [a, b], then f has an absolute maximum and an absolute minimum on [a, b]. The absolute maximum (minimum) can be found by selecting the largest (smallest) value of f from the following list:

• The values of f at any local maxima or local minima of f in [a, b]. • The value of f at each endpoint of [a, b]—that is, f1a2 and f1b2 . *Although a precise definition requires calculus, we’ll agree for now that a function is continuous if its graph has no gaps or holes and can be traced without lifting the pencil from the paper.

6 Use a Graphing Utility to Approximate Local Maxima and Local Minima and to Determine Where a Function Is Increasing or Decreasing

To locate the exact value at which a function f  has a local maximum or a local minimum usually requires calculus. However, a graphing utility may be used to approximate these values using the MAXIMUM and MINIMUM features.

Solution

(a) Graphing utilities have a feature that finds the maximum or minimum point of a graph within a given interval. Graph the function f for - 2 … x … 2. Using MAXIMUM on a TI-84 Plus C, we find that the local maximum value is 11.53 and that it occurs at x = - 0.82, rounded to two decimal places. See Figure 29(a). Using MINIMUM, we find that the local minimum value is - 1.53 and that it occurs at x = 0.82, rounded to two decimal places. See Figure 29(b). Figure 29(c) shows the two extrema in Desmos.

CHAPTER 2  Functions and Their Graphs

DEFINITION  Average Rate of Change If a and b, a ≠ b, are in the domain of a function y = f 1x2, the average rate of change of f from a to b is defined as

Average rate of change =

The symbol ∆y in equation (1) is the “change in y,” and ∆x is the “change in x.” The average rate of change of f  is the change in y divided by the change in x.

In fact, according to the Department of the Treasury, the debt per person living in the United States is approximately $63,720 (or over $172,000 per U.S. household). The following data represent the U.S. debt for the years 2007–2017. Since the debt D depends on the year y, and each input corresponds to exactly one output, the debt is a function of the year.

• The domain and the range of f1x2 = 2x are the set of nonnegative real numbers.

• The x-intercept of the graph of f1x2 = 1x  is 0. The y-intercept of the graph of f1x2 = 1x is also 0.

Graphing the Cube Root Function 3 (a) Determine whether f1x2 = 2 x is even, odd, or neither. State whether the graph of f is symmetric with respect to the y-axis, symmetric with respect to the origin, or neither. 3 (b) Find the intercepts, if any, of the graph of f1x2 = 2 x.

Solution

3 (c) Graph f1x2 = 2 x.

(a) Because

3 3 f1 - x2 = 2 -x = - 2 x = - f1x2

the cube root function is odd. The graph of f is symmetric with respect to the origin. 3 (b) The y-intercept is f102 = 2 0 = 0. The x-intercept is found by solving the equation f1x2 = 0. f1x2 = 0 3 2 x = 0 x = 0

The x-intercept is also 0.

CHAPTER 2  Functions and Their Graphs

From Example 2 and Figure 35, we have the following properties of the absolute value function. Properties of the Absolute Value Function f 1 x2 = ∣ x ∣  

• The domain of f1x2 = ∙ x∙ is the set of all real numbers. The range of f is 5 y∙ y Ú 06 .

• The x-intercept of the graph of f1x2 = 0 x 0 is 0. The y-intercept of the graph of f1x2 = 0 x 0 is also 0.

• f1x2 = ∙ x∙ is even. The graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis.

• f1x2 = ∙ x∙ is decreasing on the interval 1 - q , 04 . It is increasing on the interval 3 0, q 2.

• f1x2 = ∙ x∙ has an absolute minimum of 0 at x = 0.

Below is a list of the key functions that we have discussed. In going through this list, pay special attention to the properties of each function, particularly to the domain of each function and to the shape of each graph. Knowing these graphs, along with key points on each graph, lays the foundation for further graphing techniques. Constant Function

f 1x2 = int1x2 = greatest integer less than or equal to x* We obtain the graph of f1x2 = int1x2 by plotting several points. See Table 7. For values of x, - 1 … x 6 0, the value of f1x2 = int1x2 is - 1; for values of x, 0 … x 6 1, the value of f is 0. See Figure 44 for the graph. The domain of the greatest integer function is the set of all real numbers; its range is the set of integers. The y-intercept of the graph is 0. The x-intercepts lie in the interval [0, 1). The greatest integer function is neither even nor odd. It is constant on every interval of the form 3 k, k + 12, for k an integer. In Figure 44, a solid dot indicates, for example, that at x = 1 the value of f is f112 = 1; an open circle is used to show that the value of f is not 0 at x = 1. Although a precise definition requires calculus, in a rough sense, a function is continuous if its graph has no gaps or holes and can be traced without lifting the pencil from the paper on which the graph is drawn. A function is discontinuous if its graph has gaps or holes and cannot be traced without lifting the pencil from the paper. The greatest integer function is also called a step function. At x = 0, x = {1, x = {2, and so on, this function is discontinuous because, at integer values, the graph suddenly “steps” from one value to another without taking on any of the intermediate values. For example, to the immediate left of x = 3, the y-coordinates of 6the points on the graph are 2, and at x = 3 and to the immediate right of x = 3, the y-coordinates of the points on the graph are 3. COMMENT  When graphing a function using a graphing utility, typically you can choose either connected mode, in which points plotted on the screen are connected, making the graph appear continuous, or dot mode, in which only the points plotted appear. When graphing the greatest integer 6 function with a graphing utility, it may be necessary to be in dot mode. This is to prevent the utility from “connecting the dots” when f1x2 changes from one integer value to the next. However, some utilities will display the gaps even when in “connected” mode.

Analyze a Piecewise-defined Function y 3

Sometimes a function is defined using different equations on different parts of its domain. For example, the absolute value function f1x2 = 0 x 0 is actually defined by two equations: f1x2 = x if x Ú 0 and f1x2 = - x if x 6 0. See Figure 46. For convenience, these equations are generally combined into one expression as

When a function is defined by different equations on different parts of its domain, it is called a piecewise-defined function.

Analyzing a Piecewise-defined Function A piecewise-defined function f is defined as - 2x if x 6 0 f1x2 = e 2x if x Ú 0 (a) Find f1 - 42, f102, and f142 . (b) Find the domain of f. (c) Locate any intercepts. (d) Graph f. (e) Use the graph to find the range of f.

Solution

(a) When evaluating a piecewise-defined function, we first must identify which equation should be used in the evaluation. We do this by identifying in which part of the domain the value for the independent variable lies.

• To find f1 - 42, observe that - 4 6 0 so x = - 4 lies in the domain of the first equation. This means that when x = - 4, the equation for f is f1x2 = - 2x. Then f1 - 42 = - 21 - 42 = 8

• To find f102 , observe that when x = 0, the equation for f is f1x2 = 2x. Then

f102 = 20 = 0

•  To find f142 , observe that when x = 4, the equation for f is f1x2 = 2x. Then

f142 = 24 = 2

(b) The domain of the first equation of the function f is the set of all negative real numbers, 5 x x 6 06 , or 1 - q , 02 in interval notation. The domain of the second equation of the function f is the set of all nonnegative real numbers, 5 x x Ú 06 , or 3 0, q 2 in interval notation. The domain of the function is the union of the domains of the individual equations. Since 1 - q , 02 h 3 0, q 2 = 1 - q , q 2

the domain of f is the set of all real numbers.

(c) The y-intercept of the graph of the function is f102. Because the equation for f when x = 0 is f1x2 = 1x, the y-intercept is f102 = 10 = 0.

CHAPTER 2  Functions and Their Graphs

The x-intercepts of the graph of a function are the real solutions to the equation f1x2 = 0. To find the x-intercepts of f, solve f1x2 = 0 for each equation of the function, and then determine which values of x, if any, satisfy the domain of the equation. f1x2 = 0 x * 0 f1x2 = 0 x # 0

(d) To graph f, graph each equation. First graph the line y = - 2x and keep only the part for which x 6 0. Then graph the square root function y = 2x for x Ú 0. See Figure 47.

(a) Find f1 - 22, f112, and f122. (b) Find the domain of f. (c) Locate any intercepts. (d) Graph f. (e) Use the graph to find the range of f.

Solution

(a) To find f1 - 22, observe that - 3 … - 2 6 1, so when x = - 2, the equation for f is given by f1x2 = - 2x + 1. Then f1 - 22 = - 21 - 22 + 1 = 5 f 1x 2 = −2x + 1 if −3 " x * 1

To find f112, observe that when x = 1, the equation for f is f 1x2 = 2. So, f112 = 2

f 1x 2 = 2 if x = 1

When x = 2, the equation for f is f1x2 = x2. Then

f122 = 22 = 4 f 1x 2 = x 2 if x + 1

(b) The domain of f is the union of the domains of each equation in the piecewisedefined function. So the domain of f is 3 - 3, 12 h 5 16 h 11, q 2 = 3 - 3, q 2 . The domain of f is 3 - 3, q 2 in interval notation, or 5 x∙ x Ú - 36 in set notation. (c) The y-intercept of the graph of the function is f102 . Because the equation for f when x = 0 is f1x2 = - 2x + 1, the y-intercept is f102 = - 2 # 0 + 1 = 1. The x-intercepts of the graph of a function f are the real solutions of the equation f1x2 = 0. To find the x-intercepts of f, solve f1x2 = 0 for each equation of the function, and then determine what values of x, if any, are in the domain of the equation. f1x2 = 0 −3 " x * 1 - 2x + 1 = 0 - 2x = - 1 1 x = 2

Cost of Electricity In the spring of 2018, Duke Energy Progress supplied electricity to residences in South Carolina for a monthly customer charge of $8.29 plus 8.6035. per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for the first 1000 kWh supplied in the month and 9.1446. per kWh for all usage over 1000 kWh in the month. (a) What is the charge for using 500 kWh in a month? (b) What is the charge for using 1500 kWh in a month? (c) If C is the monthly charge for x kWh, develop a model relating the monthly charge and kilowatt-hours used. That is, express C as a function of x. Source: Duke Energy Progress, 2018

Solution

(a) For 500 kWh, the charge is $8.29 plus 18.6035. = +0.0860352 per kWh. That is, Charge = +8.29 + +0.086035 # 500 = +51.31

(b) For 1500 kWh, the charge is $8.29 plus 8.6035¢ per kWh for the first 1000 kWh plus 9.1446¢ per kWh for the 500 kWh in excess of 1000. That is, Charge = +8.29 + +0.086035 # 1000 + +0.091446 # 500 = +140.05

(c) Let x represent the number of kilowatt-hours used. If 0 … x … 1000, then the monthly charge C (in dollars) can be found by multiplying x times $0.086035 and adding the monthly customer charge of $8.29. So if 0 … x … 1000, then C 1x2 = 0.086035x + 8.29

For x 7 1000, the charge is 0.086035 # 1000 + 8.29 + 0.0914461x - 10002 , since 1x - 10002 equals the usage in excess of 1000 kWh, which costs $0.091446 per kWh. That is, if x 7 1000, then

57. Cost of Transporting Goods  A trucking company transports goods between Chicago and New York, a distance of 960 miles. The company’s policy is to charge, for each pound, $0.50 per mile for the first 100 miles, $0.40 per mile for the next 300 miles, $0.25 per mile for the next 400 miles, and no charge for the remaining 160 miles. (a)  Graph the relationship between the per-pound cost of transportation in dollars and mileage over the entire 960-mile route.

59. Mortgage Fees  Fannie Mae charges a loan-level price adjustment (LLPA) on all mortgages, which represents a fee homebuyers seeking a loan must pay. The rate paid depends on the credit score of the borrower, the amount borrowed, and the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio. The LTV ratio is the ratio of amount borrowed to appraised value of the home. For example, a homebuyer who wishes to borrow $250,000 with a credit score of 730 and an LTV ratio of 80% will pay 0.75% (0.0075) of $250,000, or $1875.

(b) What is the LLPA on a $300,000 loan with an 80% LTV ratio for a borrower whose credit score is 725? (c) What is the LLPA on a $300,000 loan with an 80% LTV ratio for a borrower whose credit score is 670? 60. Minimum Payments for Credit Cards  Holders of credit cards issued by banks, department stores, oil companies, and so on, receive bills each month that state minimum amounts that must be paid by a certain due date. The minimum due depends on the total amount owed. One such credit card company uses the following rules: For a bill of less than $10, the entire amount is due. For a bill of at least $10 but less than $500, the minimum due is $10. A minimum of $30 is due on a bill of at least $500 but less than $1000, a minimum of $50 is due on a bill of at least $1000 but less than $1500, and a minimum of $70 is due on bills of $1500 or more. Find the function f that describes the minimum payment due on a bill of x dollars. Graph f. 61.

with key points plotted. If necessary, review the previous section, Figures 37 through 43. Sometimes we are asked to graph a function that is “almost” like one that we already know how to graph. In this section, we develop techniques for graphing such functions. Collectively, these techniques are referred to as transformations.

Graph Functions Using Vertical and Horizontal Shifts E XAM PLE 1

Vertical Shift Up Use the graph of f1x2 = x2 to obtain the graph of g1x2 = x2 + 3. Find the domain and range of g.

Solution

The function g1x2 = x2 + 3 is basically a square function. In fact, notice that g1x2 = f1x2 + 3. Create a table of values to obtain some points on the graphs of f and g. For example, when x = 0, then y = f 102 = 0 and y = g102 = 3. When x = 1, then y = f 112 = 1 and y = g112 = 4. Table 8 lists these and a few other points on each graph. Notice that each y-coordinate of a point on the graph of g is 3 units larger than the y-coordinate of the corresponding point on the graph of f. We conclude that the graph of g is identical to that of f, except that it is shifted vertically up 3 units. See Figure 50.

Vertical Shift Down Use the graph of f1x2 = x2 to obtain the graph of g1x2 = x2 - 4. Find the domain and range of g.

Solution

The function g1x2 = x2 - 4 is basically a square function. Table 9 lists some points on the graphs of f and g. Notice that each y-coordinate of g is 4 units less than the corresponding y-coordinate of f. Also notice that g1x2 = f1x2 - 4. To obtain the graph of g from the graph of f, subtract 4 from each y-coordinate on the graph of f. The graph of g is identical to that of f except that it is shifted down 4 units. See Figure 51.

The domain of g is all real numbers, or 1 - q , q 2. The range of g is 3 - 4, q 2 . A vertical shift affects only the range of a function, not the domain. For example, the range of f1x2 = x2 is 3 0, q 2. In Example 1 the range of g1x2 = f1x2 + 3 is  3 3, q 2, whereas in Example 2 the range of g1x2 = f1x2 - 4 is 3 - 4, q 2 . The domain for all three functions is all real numbers.

With Y1 = x2 on the screen, the graph of Y2 = x2 + 2 is identical to that of Y1 = x2, except that it is shifted vertically up 2 units. The graph of Y3 = x2 - 2 is identical to that of Y1 = x2, except that it is shifted vertically down 2 units.

CHAPTER 2  Functions and Their Graphs

We are led to the following conclusions:

In Words

For y = f 1x2 + k, k 7 0, add k to each y-coordinate on the graph of y = f 1x2 to shift the graph up k units. For y = f 1x2 - k, k 7 0, subtract k from each y-coordinate to shift the graph down k units.

Vertical Shifts 

• If a positive real number k is added to the output of a function y = f1x2, the

graph of the new function y = f1x2 + k is the graph of f shifted vertically up k units. • If a positive real number k is subtracted from the output of a function y = f1x2 , the graph of the new function y = f1x2 - k is the graph of f shifted vertically down k units. Now Work

Horizontal Shift to the Right Use the graph of f1x2 = 1x to obtain the graph of g1x2 = 1x - 2. Find the domain and range of g.

Solution

The function g1x2 = 1x - 2 is basically a square root function. Table 10 lists some points on the graphs of f and g. Note that when f1x2 = 0, then x = 0, but when g1x2 = 0, then x = 2. Also, when f1x2 = 2, then x = 4, but when g1x2 = 2, then x = 6. The x-coordinates on the graph of g are 2 units larger than the corresponding x-coordinates on the graph of f for any given y-coordinate. Also notice that g1x2 = f1x - 22. We conclude that the graph of g is identical to that of f, except that it is shifted horizontally 2 units to the right. See Figure 53.

Use the graph of f1x2 = 1x to obtain the graph of g1x2 = 1x + 4. Find the domain and range of g.

Solution

The function g1x2 = 1x + 4 is basically a square root function. Table 11 lists some points on the graphs of f and g. Note that when f1x2 = 0, then x = 0, but when  g1x2 = 0, then x = - 4. Also, when f1x2 = 2, then x = 4, but when g1x2 = 2, then x = 0. The x-coordinates on the graph of g are 4 units smaller than the corresponding x-coordinates on the graph of f for any given y-coordinate. Also notice that g1x2 = f1x + 42. We conclude that the graph of g is identical to that of f, except that it is shifted horizontally 4 units to the left. See Figure 54.

For y = f 1x - h2, h 7 0, add h to each x-coordinate on the graph of y = f 1x2 to shift the graph right h units. For y = f 1x + h2, h 7 0, subtract h from each x-coordinate on the graph of y = f 1x2 to shift the graph left h units.

• If the argument x of a function f is replaced by x - h, h 7 0, the graph of

the new function y = f 1x - h2 is the graph of f shifted horizontally right h units. • If the argument x of a function f is replaced by x + h, h 7 0, the graph of the new function y = f 1x + h2 is the graph of f shifted horizontally left h units.

Observe the distinction between vertical and horizontal shifts. The graph of f1x2 = x3 + 2 is obtained by shifting the graph vertically because we evaluate the cube function first and then add 2. The graph of g1x2 = 1x + 22 3 is obtained by shifting the graph of y = x3 horizontally because we add 2 to x before we evaluate the cube function. Another way to think of the distinction is to note where the shift occurs. If the shift occurs outside the basic function, as is the case with f 1x2 = x3 + 2, then there is a vertical shift. If the shift occurs inside the basic function, as is the case with f1x2 = 1x + 22 3, then there is a horizontal shift. The graph of a function can be moved anywhere in the coordinate plane by combining vertical and horizontal shifts.

We graph f in steps. First, note that f is basically an absolute value function, so begin with the graph of y = ∙ x ∙ as shown in Figure 56(a). Next, to get the graph of y = ∙ x + 3 ∙ , shift the graph of y = ∙ x ∙ horizontally 3 units to the left. See Figure 56(b).

Graph Functions Using Compressions and Stretches E XAM PLE 6 Solution

Vertical Stretch Use the graph of f1x2 = 1x to obtain the graph of g1x2 = 21x.

To see the relationship between the graphs of f and g, we list points on each graph, as shown in Table12. For each x, the y-coordinate of a point on the graph of g is 2 times as large as the corresponding y-coordinate on the graph of f.  That is, g1x2 = 2 f1x2. The graph of f1x2 = 1x is vertically stretched by a factor of 2 to obtain the graph of g1x2 = 21x. For example, 11, 12 is on the graph of f, but 11, 22 is on the graph of g. See Figure 57.

What happens if the argument x of a function y = f1x2 is multiplied by a positive number a, creating a new function y = f1ax2? To find the answer, look at the following Exploration.

Y1 = f 1x2 = 1x

Create a table of values to explore the relation between the x- and y-coordinates of each function. Result You should have obtained the graphs in Figure 59. Look at Table 14(a). Note that (1, 1), (4, 2), and (9, 3) are points on the graph of Y1 = 1x. Also, (0.5, 1), (2, 2), and (4.5, 3)

are points on the graph of Y2 = 22x. For a given y-coordinate, the x-coordinate on the graph 1 of Y2 is of the x-coordinate on Y1. 2

We conclude that the graph of Y2 = 22x is obtained by multiplying the x-coordinate of 1 each point on the graph of Y1 = 1x by . The graph of Y2 = 22x is the graph 2 of Y1 = 1x compressed horizontally.

Look at Table 14(b). Notice that (1, 1), (4, 2), and (9, 3) are points on the graph x . For a of Y1 = 1x. Also notice that (2, 1), (8, 2), and (18, 3) are points on the graph of Y3 = A2 given y-coordinate, the x-coordinate on the graph of Y3 is 2 times the x-coordinate on Y1. We x is obtained by multiplying the x-coordinate of each point on conclude that the graph of Y3 = A2 x the graph of Y1 = 1x by 2. The graph of Y3 = is the graph of Y1 = 1x stretched horizontally. A2

Based on the Exploration, we have the following result:

SUMMARY OF GRAPHING TECHNIQUES Each graphing technique has a different effect on the graph of a function. Compressions and stretches change the proportions of a graph, and reflections change the orientation, but not its proportions. Vertical and horizontal shifts change the location of the graph, without changing its proportions or orientation. To Graph:

Shift the graph of f down k units.

Add k to f 1x2.

Shift the graph of f to the left h units.

Replace x by x + h.

y = f 1x - h2, h 7 0

Shift the graph of f to the right h units.

Replace x by x - h.

y = af 1x2, a 7 0

Multiply each y-coordinate of y = f 1x2 by a. Stretch the graph of f vertically if a 7 1. Compress the graph of f vertically if 0 6 a 6 1.

Multiply f 1x2 by a.

y = f 1ax2, a 7 0

Build and Analyze Functions Real-world problems often result in mathematical models that involve functions. These functions need to be constructed or built based on the information given. In building functions, we must be able to translate the verbal description into the language of mathematics. This is done by assigning symbols to represent the independent and dependent variables and then by finding the function or rule that relates these variables.

(e) Use a graphing utility to graph the function d = d 1x2, x Ú 0. Rounding to two decimal places, find the value(s) of x at which d has a local minimum. [This gives the point(s) on the graph of y = x2 - 1 closest to the origin.]

CHAPTER 2  Functions and Their Graphs

Solution

(a) Figure 67 illustrates the graph of y = x2 - 1. The distance d from P to O is d = 2 1x - 02 2 + 1y - 02 2 = 2x2 + y2

Since P is a point on the graph of y = x2 - 1, substitute x2 - 1 for y. Then d 1x2 = 2x2 + 1x2 - 12 2 = 2x4 - x2 + 1

(e) Figure 68 shows the graph of Y1 = 2x4 - x2 + 1. Using the MINIMUM feature on a TI-84 Plus C, we find that when x ≈ 0.71 the value of d is smallest. The local minimum value is d ≈ 0.87 rounded to two decimal places. Since d(x) is even, it follows by symmetry that when x ≈ - 0.71, the value of d is the same local minimum value. Since 1 {0.712 2 - 1 ≈ - 0.50, the points 1 - 0.71, - 0.502 and 10.71, - 0.502 on the graph of y = x2 - 1 are closest to the origin. Now Work

(b) Since (x, y) is in quadrant I, we have x 7 0. Also, y = 25 - x2 7 0, which implies that x2 6 25, so - 5 6 x 6 5. Combining these restrictions, the domain of A is 5 x∙ 0 6 x 6 56 , or (0, 5) using interval notation.

(a) Refer to Figure 72. The distance d between the two planes is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. At any time t, the length of the north/south leg of the triangle is 600 - 400t. At any time t, the length of the east/west leg of the triangle is 400 - 250t.

CHAPTER 2  Functions and Their Graphs

Things to Know Function (pp. 49–51)

• A relation between two nonempty sets so that each element x in the first set, the domain, has corresponding to it exactly one element y in the second set. The range is the set of images of the elements in the domain.

• A function can also be described as a set of ordered pairs (x, y) in which no first element is paired with two different second elements.

Function notation (pp. 51–54)

Difference quotient of f (p. 54) Domain (pp. 55–57)

• • • • • •

y = f 1x2

f is a symbol for the function. x is the argument, or independent variable. y is the dependent variable. f(x) is the value of the function at x. A function f may be defined implicitly by an equation involving x and y or explicitly by writing y = f 1x2.

f 1x + h2 - f 1x2

h ≠ 0 h If unspecified, the domain of a function f defined by an equation is the largest set of real numbers for which f 1x2 is a real number.

Vertical-line test (p. 64)

A set of points in the xy-plane is the graph of a function if and only if every vertical line intersects the graph in at most one point.

Even function f (p. 73)

f 1 - x2 = f 1x2 for every x in the domain (- x must also be in the domain).

Odd function f (p. 73) Increasing function (p. 75) Decreasing function (p. 75) Constant function (p. 75) Local maximum (p. 76)

Local minimum (p. 76)

Absolute maximum and absolute minimum (p. 77)

f 1 - x2 = - f 1x2 for every x in the domain (- x must also be in the domain).

A function f is increasing on an interval I if, for any choice of x1 and x2 in I, with x1 6 x2, then f 1x1 2 6 f 1x2 2.

A function f is decreasing on an interval I if, for any choice of x1 and x2 in I, with x1 6 x2, then f 1x1 2 7 f 1x2 2.

A function f is constant on an interval I if, for all choices of x in I, the values of f 1x2 are equal.

A function f, defined on some interval I, has a local maximum at c if there is an open interval in I containing c so that f 1c2 Ú f 1x2 , for all x in this open interval. The local maximum value is f 1c2 . A function f, defined on some interval I, has a local minimum at c if there is an open interval in I containing c so that f 1c2 … f 1x2 , for all x in this open interval. The local minimum value is f 1c2 .

Let f denote a function defined on some interval I.

• If there is a number u in I for which f 1u2 Ú f 1x2 for all x in I, then f has an

absolute maximum at u, and the number f 1u2  is the absolute maximum of f on I.

Average rate of change of a function  (pp. 79–80)

• If there is a number v in I for which f 1v2 … f 1x2, for all x in I, then f has an

absolute minimum at v, and the number f 1v2  is the absolute minimum of f on I.

The average rate of change of f from a to b is

I.  Choosing a Data Plan Collect information from your family, friends, or consumer agencies such as Consumer Reports. Then decide on a service provider, choosing the company that you feel offers the best service. Once you have selected a service provider, research the various types of individual plans offered by the company by visiting the provider’s website. Many cellular providers offer family plans that include unlimited talk, text, and data. However, once a data cap has been reached, service may be slowed, which prevents media from being streamed. So, many customers still purchase dataonly plans for devices such as tablets or laptops. The monthly cost is primarily determined by the amount of data used and the number of data-only devices. 1. Suppose you expect to use 10 gigabytes of data for a single tablet. What would be the monthly cost of each plan you are considering? 2. Suppose you expect to use 30 gigabytes of data and want a personal hotspot, but you still have only a single tablet. What would be the monthly cost of each plan you are considering? 3. Suppose you expect to use 20 gigabytes of data with three tablets sharing the data. What would be the monthly cost of each plan you are considering? 4. Suppose you expect to use 20 gigabytes of data with a single tablet and a personal hotspot. What would be the monthly cost of each plan you are considering?

5. Build a model that describes the monthly cost C, in dollars, as a function of the number g of data gigabytes used, assuming a single tablet and a personal hotspot for each plan you are considering. 6. Graph each function from Problem 5. 7. Based on your particular usage, which plan is best for you?

Chapter Projects 

123

8. Now, develop an Excel spreadsheet to analyze the various plans you are considering. Suppose you want a plan that offers 50 gigabytes of shared data and costs $60 per month. Additional gigabytes of data cost $15 per gigabyte, extra tablets can be added to the plan for $10 each per month, and each hotspot or laptop costs $20 per month. Because these data plans have a cost structure based on piecewise-defined functions, we need an “if/then” statement within Excel to analyze the cost of the plan. Use the accompanying Excel spreadsheet as a guide in developing your spreadsheet. Enter into your spreadsheet a variety of possible amounts of data and various numbers of additional tablets, laptops, and hotspots.

Solution

The y-intercept of f is f102 = - 6. We can eliminate the graph in Figure 16(a), whose y-intercept is positive. We now look at end behavior. For large values of x, the graph of f will behave like the graph of y = x4. This eliminates the graph in Figure 16(d), whose end behavior is like the graph of y = - x4. We are not able to solve f1x2 = 0 to find the x-intercepts of f, so we move on to investigate the turning points of each graph. Since f is of degree 4, the graph of f has at most 3 turning points. We eliminate the graph in Figure 16(c) because that graph has 5 turning points. Only the graph in Figure 16(b) could be the graph of f1x2 = x4 + ax3 + bx2 - 5x - 6 where a 7 0, b 7 0.

Solution

The x-intercepts are - 2, 0, and 2. Therefore, the polynomial must have the factors 1x + 22, x, and 1x - 22, respectively. There are three turning points, so the degree of the polynomial must be at least 4. The graph touches the x-axis at x = - 2, so - 2 has an even multiplicity. The graph crosses the x-axis at x = 0 and x = 2, so 0 and 2 have odd multiplicities. Using the smallest degree possible (1 for odd multiplicity and 2 for even multiplicity), we write f1x2 = ax1x + 22 21x - 22

All that remains is to find the leading coefficient, a. From Figure 17, the point 1 - 1, 62 is on the graph of f. 6 = a1 - 12 1 - 1 + 22 21 - 1 - 22 f 1 ∙1 2 ∙ 6

6 = 3a 2 = a

Step 4 Determine the maximum number of turning points on the graph of the function.

Because the polynomial function is of degree 3 (Step 1), the graph of the function has at most 3 - 1 = 2 turning points.

The polynomial function is of degree 4. The graph of f behaves like y = x4 for large values of ∙ x∙ . So, f1x2 S q as x S - q and as x S q . 2:  The y-intercept is f10 2 = 90.The x-intercepts are found by solving f 1x 2 = 0. Using the Zero-Product Property, solve 1x - 22 = 0, 1x + 32 = 0, and 1x - 52 = 0. The x-intercepts are 2, - 3, and 5. 3:  The real zeros of the function are 2, - 3, and 5. The zeros 2 and 5 each have multiplicity 1, so the graph of f crosses the x-axis at 2 and 5. The zero - 3 has multiplicity 2, so the graph of f touches the x-axis at - 3. 4:  The graph of f has at most n - 1 = 4 - 1 = 3 turning points. 5:  To help establish the y-scale, evaluate f at - 5, - 1, 3, and 6.

Graph a Polynomial Function Using a Graphing Utility For polynomial functions that have noninteger coefficients and for polynomials that are not easily factored, we use a graphing utility early in the analysis. This is because the information that can be obtained from algebraic analysis is limited.

Graphing a Polynomial Function Using a Graphing Utility Analyze the graph of the polynomial function f1x2 = x3 + 2.48x2 - 4.3155x + 2.484406

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1 Determine the end behavior of the graph of the function.

The polynomial function f is of degree 3. The graph of f behaves like y = x3 for large values of ∙ x∙ .

Step 3 Use the graphing utility to approximate the x- and y-intercepts of the graph.

The y-intercept is f102 = 2.484406. Since it is not readily apparent how to factor f, use a graphing utility’s ZERO (or ROOT or SOLVE) feature and determine the x-intercept is - 3.79, rounded to two decimal places.

Step 4 Use the graphing utility to create a TABLE to find points on the graph around each x-intercept.

Table 5 below shows values of x on each side of the x-intercept using a TI-84 Plus C. The points 1 - 4, - 4.572 and 1 - 2, 13.042, rounded to two decimal places, are on the graph.

Table 5 

Step 5 Approximate the turning points of the graph.

From the graph of f shown in Figure 20, we see that f has two turning points. Using MAXIMUM reveals one turning point is at 1 - 2.28, 13.362, rounded to two decimal places. Using MINIMUM shows that the other turning point is at (0.63, 1), rounded to two decimal places.

Step 6 Use the information in Steps 1 through 5 to draw a complete graph of the function by hand.

3 Build Cubic Models from Data In Section 3.2 we found the line of best fit from data, and in Section 3.4 we found the quadratic function of best fit. It is also possible to find other polynomial functions of best fit. However, most statisticians do not recommend finding polynomials of best fit of degree higher than 3. Data that follow a cubic relation should look like Figure 22(a) or (b).

SECTION 4.3  Properties of Rational Functions 

WARNING  The domain of a rational function must be found before writing the function in lowest terms.  j

E XAM PLE 2

p 1x2 is a rational function, and if p and q have no common factors, q 1x2 then the rational function R is said to be in lowest terms. For a rational function p 1x2 R 1x2 = in lowest terms, the real zeros, if any, of the numerator, which are q 1x2 also in the domain of R, are the x-intercepts of the graph of R. The real zeros of the denominator of R [that is, the numbers x, if any, for which q 1x2 = 0], although not in the domain of R, also play a major role in the graph of R. 1 We have already discussed the properties of the rational function y = . (Refer x 1 to Example 13, page 17). The next rational function that we analyze is H1x2 = 2 . x If R 1x2 =

Graphing H1 x 2 =

1 x2

Analyze the graph of H1x2 =

Solution

199

1 . x2

1 is the set of all real numbers x except 0. The graph has x2 no y-intercept, because x cannot equal 0. The graph has no x-intercept because the equation H1x2 = 0 has no solution. Therefore, the graph of H does not cross or touch either of the coordinate axes. Because The domain of H1x2 =

H1 - x2 =

1 1 = 2 = H1x2 2 1 - x2 x

H is an even function, so its graph is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. 1 Table 7 shows values of H1x2 = 2 for selected positive numbers x. (We use x symmetry to obtain values of H when x 6 0.) From the first three rows of Table 7, we see that as the values of x approach (get closer to) 0, the values of H(x) become unbounded in the positive direction. That is, as x S 0, H1x2 S q . (In calculus we use limit notation, lim H1x2 = q , to convey this). xS0

Look at the last four rows of Table 7. As x S q , then H1x2 S 0, so we have the end behavior of the graph. Figure 27 shows the graph. Notice the use of red dashed lines to convey these ideas.

Asymptotes Let’s investigate the roles of the vertical line x = 2 and the horizontal line y = 1 in Figure 28(c). 1 First, we look at the end behavior of R 1x2 = + 1. Table 8(a) shows 1x - 22 2 the values of R at x = 10, 100, 1000, and 10,000. Note that as x becomes unbounded in the positive direction, the values of R approach 1. That is, as x S q , R1x2 S 1. From Table 8(b) we see that as x becomes unbounded in the negative direction, the values of R also approach 1. That is, as x S - q , R1x2 S 1. Although x = 2 is not in the domain of R, the behavior of the graph of R near x = 2 is important. Table 8(c) shows the values of R at x = 1.5, 1.9, 1.99, 1.999, and 1.9999. We see that as x approaches 2 for x 6 2, denoted x S 2- , the values of R increase without bound. That is, as x S 2- (from the left), R 1x2 S q . From Table 8(d), we see that as x approaches 2 for x 7 2, denoted x S 2 + , the values of R also increase without bound. That is, as x S 2 + (from the right), R 1x2 S q .

DEFINITION  Horizontal and Vertical Asymptotes Let R denote a function. If, as x S - q or as x S q , the values of R(x) approach some fixed number L, then the line y = L is a horizontal asymptote of the graph of R. [Refer to Figures 29(a) and (b).] If, as x approaches some number c, the values ∙ R 1x2 ∙ S q [that is, R 1x2 S - q or R 1x2 S q ], then the line x = c is a vertical asymptote of the graph of R.

A horizontal asymptote, when it occurs, describes the end behavior of the graph as x S q or as x S - q . The graph of a function may intersect a horizontal asymptote. A vertical asymptote, when it occurs, describes the behavior of the graph when x is close to some number c. The graph of a rational function never intersects a vertical asymptote. There is a third possibility. If, as x S - q or as x S q , the value of a rational function R(x) approaches a linear expression ax + b, a ∙ 0, then the line y = ax + b, a ∙ 0, is an oblique (or slant) asymptote of R. Figure 30 shows an oblique asymptote. An oblique asymptote, when it occurs, describes the end behavior of the graph. The graph of a function may intersect an oblique asymptote. Now Work

Find the Vertical Asymptotes of a Rational Function p 1x2 , in lowest terms, are q 1x2 located at the real zeros of the denominator q(x). Suppose that r is a real zero of q, so x - r is a factor of q. As x S r, the values x - r S 0, causing the ratio to become unbounded; that is, ∙ R 1x2 ∙ S q . Based on the definition, we conclude that the line x = r is a vertical asymptote. The vertical asymptotes of a rational function R 1x2 =

Multiplicity and Vertical Asymptotes Recall from Figure 15 in Section 4.1 that the end behavior of a polynomial function is always one of four types. For polynomials of odd degree, the ends of the graph go in opposite directions (one up and one down), whereas for polynomials of even degree, the ends go in the same direction (both up or both down). For a rational function in lowest terms, the multiplicities of the real zeros in the denominator can be used in a similar fashion to determine the behavior of the graph around each vertical asymptote. Consider the following four functions, each with a single vertical asymptote, x = 2. R1 1x2 =

1 x - 2

R2 1x2 = -

1 x - 2

R3 1x2 =

1 1x - 22 2

R4 1x2 = -

Figure 31 shows the graphs of each function. The graphs of R1 and R2 are transformations 1 of the graph of y = , and the graphs of R3 and R4 are transformations of the graph x 1 of y = 2 . x Based on Figure 31, we can make the following conclusions: • If the multiplicity of the real zero that gives rise to a vertical asymptote is odd, the graph approaches q on one side of the vertical asymptote and approaches - q on the other side. • If the multiplicity of the real zero that gives rise to the vertical asymptote is even, the graph approaches either q or - q on both sides of the vertical asymptote. These results are true in general and will be helpful when graphing rational functions in the next section.

3 Find a Horizontal or an Oblique Asymptote of a Rational Function

To find horizontal or oblique asymptotes, we need to know how the function behaves as x S - q or as x S q . That is, we need to determine the end behavior of the function. This can be done by examining the degrees of the numerator and denominator, and the respective power functions that each resembles. For example, consider the rational function R 1x2 =

3x - 2 5x2 - 7x + 1

The degree of the numerator, 1, is less than the degree of the denominator, 2. When ∙ x ∙ is very large, the numerator of R can be approximated by the power function y = 3x, and the denominator can be approximated by the power function y = 5x2. This means



R 1x2 =

3x - 2 3x 3 S0 ≈ = 5x 5x2 - 7x + 1 5x2 c c For ∣ x ∣ very large

As x u ∙ ˆ or x u ˆ

which shows that the line y = 0 is a horizontal asymptote. This result is true for all rational functions that are proper (that is, the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator). If a rational function is improper (that is, if the degree of the numerator is greater than or equal to the degree of the denominator), there could be a horizontal asymptote, an oblique asymptote, or neither. The following summary details how to find horizontal or oblique asymptotes. Finding a Horizontal or an Oblique Asymptote of a Rational Function Consider the rational function R 1x2 =

p 1x2 anxn + an - 1xn - 1 + g + a1x + a0 = q 1x2 bmxm + bm - 1xm - 1 + g + b1x + b0

in which the degree of the numerator is n and the degree of the denominator is m. • If n 6 m (the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator), the line y = 0 is a horizontal asymptote. (continued)

• If n = m + 1 (the degree of the numerator is one more than the degree

of the denominator), the line y = ax + b is an oblique asymptote, which is the quotient found using polynomial division. • If n Ú m + 2 (the degree of the numerator is two or more greater than the degree of the denominator), there are no horizontal or oblique asymptotes, and the end behavior of the graph resembles the power an n - m function y = x . bm Note: A rational function never has both a horizontal asymptote and an oblique asymptote. A rational function may have neither a horizontal nor an oblique asymptote.

To see why the horizontal asymptote equals the ratio of the leading coefficients, investigate the behavior of R as x S - q or as x S q . When ∙ x ∙ is very large, the numerator of R can be approximated by the power function y = 8x2, and the denominator can be approximated by the power function y = 4x2.

Since the degree of the numerator, 5, is greater than the degree of the denominator, 3, by more than one, the rational function G has no horizontal or oblique asymptote.  The end behavior of the graph resembles the power function y = 2x5-3 = 2x2. To see why this is the case, investigate the behavior of G as x S - q or as x S q .

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1 Factor the numerator and denominator of R. Find the domain of the rational function. Step 2 Write R in lowest terms.

Graphing a Rational Function Graph the rational function R 1x2 = R 1x2 =

x - 1 . x2 - 4

x - 1 x - 1 = 1x + 22 1x - 22 x2 - 4

The domain of R is 5 x∙ x ∙ - 2, x ∙ 26 .

Because there are no common factors between the numerator and denominator, x - 1 R 1x2 = 2 is in lowest terms. x - 4 1 1 . Plot the point ¢ 0, ≤. 4 4 The x-intercepts are the real zeros of the numerator of R written in lowest terms. Solving x - 1 = 0, we find that the only real zero of the numerator is 1. So the only x-intercept of the graph of R is 1. Plot the point (1, 0). The multiplicity of 1 is odd, so the graph crosses the x-axis at x = 1.

Step 3 Find and plot the intercepts of the graph. Use multiplicity to determine the behavior of the graph of R at each x-intercept.

Since 0 is in the domain of R, the y-intercept is R 102 =

Step 4 Find the vertical asymptotes. Graph each vertical asymptote using a dashed line. Determine the behavior of the graph on either side of each vertical asymptote.

The vertical asymptotes are the zeros of the denominator with the rational function in lowest terms. With R written in lowest terms, the graph of R has two vertical asymptotes: the lines x = - 2 and x = 2. The multiplicities of the zeros that give rise to the vertical asymptotes are both odd. Therefore, the graph approaches q on one side of each vertical asymptote and approaches - q on the other side.

Step 5 Find the horizontal or oblique asymptote, if one exists. Graph the asymptote using a dashed line. Find points, if any, where the graph of R intersects the asymptote. Plot the points.

Because the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, R is proper and the line y = 0 (the x-axis) is a horizontal asymptote of the graph. The graph of R intersects the horizontal asymptote at the x-intercept(s) of R. That is, the graph of R intersects the horizontal asymptote at (1, 0).

The real zero of the numerator, 1, and the real zeros of the denominator, - 2 and 2, divide the x-axis into four intervals:

Step 6 Use the real zeros of the numerator and denominator of R to divide the x-axis into intervals. Determine where the graph of R is above or below the x-axis by choosing a number in each interval and evaluating R. Plot the points found.

• The graph crosses the x-axis at x = 1, changing from above the x-axis for x 6 1 to below it for x 7 1. Indicate this on the graph. See Figure 34(b). • Since y = 0 (the x-axis) is a horizontal asymptote and the graph lies below the x-axis for x 6 - 2, we can sketch a portion of the graph by placing a small arrow to the far left and under the x-axis. • Since the line x = - 2 is a vertical asymptote and the graph lies below the x-axis for x 6 - 2, we place an arrow well below the x-axis and approaching the line x = - 2 from the left. (As x S - 2 from the left, R 1x2 S - q .) • Since the graph approaches - q on one side of x = - 2, and - 2 is a zero of odd multiplicity, the graph will approach q on the other side of x = - 2. That is, as x S - 2 from the right, R 1x2 S q . Similarly, as x S 2 from the left, R 1x2 S - q and as x S 2 from the right, R 1x2 S q . • End behavior: As x S - q , R1x2 S 0; and as x S q , R1x2 S 0.

Result The analysis in Example 1 helps us to set the viewing rectangle to obtain a complete graph. x - 1 in connected mode, and Figure 35(b) shows it in Figure 35(a) shows the graph of R 1x2 = 2 x - 4 dot mode. Notice in Figure 35(a) that the graph has vertical lines at x = - 2 and x = 2. This is due to the fact that when a graphing utility is in connected mode, some will connect the dots between consecutive pixels, and vertical lines may occur. We know that the graph of R does not cross the lines x = - 2 and x = 2, since R is not defined at x = - 2 or x = 2. So, when graphing rational functions, use dot mode if extraneous vertical lines are present in connected mode. Other graphing utilities may not have extraneous vertical lines in connected mode. See Figure 35(c) and (d).

1x + 12 1x - 12 . The domain of R is 5 x∙ x ∙ 06 . x

Step 2: R is in lowest terms. Step 3: B ecause x cannot equal 0, there is no y-intercept. The graph has two x-intercepts, - 1 and 1, each with odd multiplicity. Plot the points 1 - 1, 02 and (1, 0). The graph crosses the x-axis at both points.

212 

CHAPTER 4  Polynomial and Rational Functions

NOTE Because the denominator of the rational function is a monomial, we can also find the oblique asymptote as follows:

Step 4: The real zero of the denominator with R in lowest terms is 0, so the graph of R has the line x = 0 (the y-axis) as a vertical asymptote. Graph x = 0 using a dashed line. The multiplicity of 0 is odd, so the graph approaches q on one side of the asymptote x = 0 and - q on the other side. Step 5: Since the degree of the numerator, 2, is one greater than the degree of the denominator, 1, the graph of R has an oblique asymptote. To find the oblique asymptote, use polynomial division. x x∙ x2 - 1 x2 -1

x2 - 1 x2 1 1 = - = x x x x x 1 S 0 as x S q , y = x is the x oblique asymptote.

Since

The quotient is x, so the line y = x is an oblique asymptote of the graph. Graph y = x using a dashed line. To determine whether the graph of R intersects the asymptote y = x, solve the equation R 1x2 = x.

x2 - 1 = x  has no solution, so the graph of R does not x intersect the line y = x. 6: The real zeros of the numerator are - 1 and 1; the real zero of the denominator is 0. Use these numbers to divide the x-axis into four intervals: The equation

Step 7: To graph the function, begin by recalling that the graph crosses the x-axis at both x-intercepts (Step 3). Since the graph of R is below the x-axis for x 6 - 1 and is above the x-axis for x 7 1, and since the graph of R does not intersect the oblique asymptote y = x (Step 5), the graph of R approaches the line y = x, as shown in Figure 36(b). Since the graph of R is above the x-axis for - 1 6 x 6 0, the graph of R approaches q as R approaches the vertical asymptote x = 0 from the left. Since the graph of R is below the x-axis for 0 6 x 6 1, the graph of R approaches - q as R approaches the vertical asymptote x = 0 from the right. See Figure 36(b).

Graphing a Rational Function Graph the rational function: R 1x2 =

x4 + 1 x2

Step 1:  R is completely factored. The domain of R is 5 x∙ x ∙ 06 . Step 2:  R is in lowest terms. Step 3:  There is no y-intercept. Since x4 + 1 = 0 has no real solutions, there are no x-intercepts. Step 4:  R is in lowest terms, so x = 0 (the y-axis) is a vertical asymptote of R. Graph the line x = 0 using dashes. The multiplicity of 0 is even, so the graph approaches either q or - q on both sides of the asymptote. Step 5:  Since the degree of the numerator, 4, is two more than the degree of the denominator, 2, the rational function does not have a horizontal or oblique asymptote. Find the end behavior of R. As ∙ x ∙ S q , R 1x2 =

x4 + 1 x4 ≈ = x2 x2 x2

The graph of R approaches the graph of y = x2 as x S - q and as x S q . The graph of R does not intersect y = x2. Do you know why? Graph y = x2 using dashes. Step 6: The numerator has no real zeros, and the denominator has one real zero at 0. Divide the x-axis into the two intervals 1 - q , 02and 10, q 2 . Construct Table 11. Table 11

Step 7: Since the graph of R is above the x-axis and does not intersect y = x2, the graph of R approaches y = x2 from above on the left and right. Also, since the graph of R lies completely above the x-axis, and the multiplicity of the zero that gives rise to the vertical asymptote, x = 0, is even, the graph of R approaches q from both the left and the right of x = 0.

The domain of R is 5 x∙ x ∙ - 4, x ∙ 36 . 2: R is in lowest terms. 3: The y-intercept is R 102 = 0. Plot the point (0, 0). Since the real solutions of the equation 3x1x - 12 = 0 are x = 0 and x = 1, the graph has two x-intercepts, 0 and 1, each with odd multiplicity. Plot the points (0, 0) and (1, 0); the graph crosses the x-axis at both points. 4: R is in lowest terms. The real solutions of the equation 1x + 42 1x - 32 = 0 are x = - 4 and x = 3, so the graph of R has two vertical asymptotes, the lines x = - 4 and x = 3. Graph these lines using dashes. The multiplicities that give rise to the vertical asymptotes are both odd, so the graph approaches q on one side of each vertical asymptote and - q on the other side. 5: Since the degree of the numerator equals the degree of the denominator, the graph has a horizontal asymptote. To find it, form the quotient of the leading coefficient of the numerator, 3, and the leading coefficient of the denominator, 1. The graph of R has the horizontal asymptote y = 3. To find out whether the graph of R intersects the asymptote, solve the equation R 1x2 = 3. R 1x2 =

The graph intersects the line y = 3 at x = 6, so (6, 3) is a point on the graph of R. Plot the point (6, 3) and graph the line y = 3 using dashes. 6: The real zeros of the numerator, 0 and 1, and the real zeros of the denominator, - 4 and 3, divide the x-axis into five intervals:

Construct Table 12. Plot the points from Table 12. 7: We analyze the graph from left to right. We know that y = 3 is a horizontal asymptote as x S - q . Since the graph of R is above the x-axis for x 6 - 4 and intersects the line y = 3 only at (6, 3), as x approaches - q the graph of R approaches the horizontal asymptote y = 3 from above. The graph of R approaches q as x approaches - 4 from the left and approaches - q as x approaches - 4 from the right. The graph crosses the x-axis at x = 0, changing from being below the x-axis to being above. The graph also crosses the x-axis at x = 1, changing from being above the x-axis to being below. Next, the graph of R approaches - q as x approaches 3 from the left and approaches q as x approaches 3 from the right. See Figure 38(a). We do not know whether the graph of R crosses or touches the line y = 3 at (6, 3). To see whether the graph crosses or touches the line y = 3, plot an 63 additional point to the right of (6, 3). We use x = 7 to find R 172 = 6 3. 22 The graph crosses y = 3 at x = 6. Because (6, 3) is the only point where the graph of R intersects the asymptote y = 3, the graph approaches the line y = 3 from below as x S q . See Figure 38(b).

Step 4: Since x + 2 is the only factor of the denominator of R(x) in lowest terms, the graph has one vertical asymptote, x = - 2. Graph the line x = - 2 using dashes. The multiplicity of - 2 is odd, so the graph approaches q on one side of the vertical asymptote and - q on the other side.

Therefore, the graph of R approaches y = 2 from above as x S - q and approaches q as x approaches - 2 from the left. 1 Since the graph of R is below the x-axis for - 2 6 x 6 , the graph 2 of R approaches - q as x approaches - 2 from the right. Finally, since the 1 graph of R is above the x-axis for x 7 and does not intersect the 2 horizontal asymptote y = 2, the graph of R approaches y = 2 from below 1 as x S q . The graph crosses the x-axis at x = , changing from being below 2 the x-axis to being above. See Figure 40(a). See Figure 40(b) for the complete graph.

p 1x2 in lowest terms determines q 1x2 the x-intercepts of its graph. The graph shown in Figure 41 has x-intercepts - 2 (even multiplicity; graph touches the x-axis) and 5 (odd multiplicity; graph crosses the x-axis). So one possibility for the numerator is p 1x2 = 1x + 22 2 1x - 52 . The denominator of a rational function in lowest terms determines the vertical asymptotes of its graph. The vertical asymptotes of the graph are x = - 5 and x = 2. Since R(x) approaches q to the left of x = - 5 and R(x) approaches - q to the right of x = - 5, we know that 1x + 52 is a factor of odd multiplicity in q(x). Also, R(x) approaches - q on both sides of x = 2, so 1x - 22 is a factor of even multiplicity in q(x). A possibility for the denominator is q 1x2 = 1x + 52 1x - 22 2. 1x + 22 2 1x - 52 So far we have R 1x2 = . 1x + 52 1x - 22 2 The numerator of a rational function R 1x2 =

Solve Polynomial Inequalities In this section we solve inequalities that involve polynomials of degree 3 and higher, along with inequalities that involve rational functions. To help understand the algebraic procedure for solving such inequalities, we use the information obtained in the previous four sections about the graphs of polynomial and rational functions. The approach follows the same methodology that we used to solve inequalities involving quadratic functions.

SECTION 4.5  Polynomial and Rational Inequalities 

225

Locate the real zeros of f  if f  is a polynomial function, and locate the real zeros of the numerator and the denominator if f is a rational function. Use these zeros to divide the real number line into intervals because on each interval, the graph of f is either above the x-axis 3 f 1x2 7 04 or below the x-axis 3 f 1x2 6 04 . This enables us to identify the solution of the inequality.

Solving a Polynomial Inequality Algebraically Solve the inequality x4 7 x algebraically, and graph the solution set.

Step-by-Step Solution

Rearrange the inequality so that 0 is on the right side.

Step 1 Write the inequality so that a polynomial function f is on the left side and zero is on the right side. Step 2 Determine the real zeros (x-intercepts of the graph) of f.

x4 7 x x4 - x 7 0 Subtract x from both sides of the inequality. This inequality is equivalent to the one we are solving. Find the real zeros of f1x2 = x4 - x by solving x4 - x = 0. x4 - x = 0 x1x3 - 12 = 0

Factor out x.

Factor the difference of two cubes.

x1x - 12 1x + x + 12 = 0

x - 1 = 0 or x2 + x + 1 = 0

x = 0 or x = 0 or

Use the Zero-Product Property.

x = 1

The equation x2 + x + 1 = 0 has no real solutions. Do you see why? Step 3 Use the real zeros found in Step 2 to divide the real number line into intervals.

Use the real zeros to separate the real number line into three intervals:

Step 4 Select a number in each interval, evaluate f at the number, and determine whether the value of f is positive or negative. If the value of f is positive, all values of f in the interval are positive. If the value of f is negative, all values of f in the interval are negative.

Select a test number in each interval found in Step 3 and evaluate f 1x2 = x4 - x at each number to determine whether the value of f is positive or negative. See Table 14.

NOTE  If the inequality is not strict (that is, if it is … or Ú ), include the solutions of f 1x2 = 0 in the solution set. j 26

The Role of Multiplicity in Solving Polynomial Inequalities In Example 2, we used the number - 1 and found that f is positive for all x 6 0. Because the “cut point” of 0 is a zero of odd multiplicity (x is a factor to the first power), the sign of f changes on either side of 0, so for 0 6 x 6 1, f is negative. Similarly, f is positive for x 7 1, since the multiplicity of the zero 1 is odd. Now Work

To solve a rational inequality algebraically, we follow the same approach that we used to solve a polynomial inequality algebraically. However, we must also identify the real zeros of the denominator of the rational function because the sign of a rational function may change on either side of a vertical asymptote. Convince yourself of this by looking at Figure 47. Notice that the function values are negative for x 6 - 2 and are positive for x 7 - 2 (but less than 1).

Step-by-Step Solution

227

Rearrange the inequality so that 0 is on the right side.

Step 1 Write the inequality so that a rational function f is on the left side and zero is on the right side.

3x2 + 13x + 9 … 3 1x + 22 2

3x2 + 13x + 9 - 3 … 0 x2 + 4x + 4

Subtract 3 from both sides of the inequality; Expand 1x ∙ 2 2 2.

3x2 + 13x + 9 x2 + 4x + 4 - 3# 2 … 0 2 x + 4x + 4 x + 4x + 4

Multiply 3 by

3x2 + 13x + 9 - 3x2 - 12x - 12 … 0 x2 + 4x + 4

Step 2 Determine the real zeros (x-intercepts of the graph) of f and the real numbers for which f is undefined. Step 3 Use the real zeros and undefined values found in Step 2 to divide the real number line into intervals. Step 4 Select a number in each interval, evaluate f at the number, and determine whether the value of f is positive or negative. If the value of f is positive, all values of f in the interval are positive. If the value of f is negative, all values of f in the interval are negative. NOTE  If the inequality is not strict ( … or Ú ), include the solutions of f(x) = 0 in the solution set. j■

The solution set of the inequality

The Role of Multiplicity in Solving Rational Inequalities In Example 4, we used the number - 3 and found that f(x) is negative for all x 6 - 2. Because the “cut point” of - 2 is a zero of even multiplicity, we know the sign of f(x) does not change on either side of - 2, so for - 2 6 x 6 3, f(x) is negative. Because the “cut point” of 3 is a zero of odd multiplicity, the sign of f(x) changes on either side 3x2 + 13x + 9 of 3, so for x 7 3, f(x) is positive. Therefore, the solution set of  … 3 1x + 22 2 is 5 x∙ x 6 - 2 or - 2 6 x … 36 or, using interval notation, 1 - q , - 22 h 1 - 2, 3]. Now Work

CHAPTER 4  Polynomial and Rational Functions

SU MMARY Steps for Solving Polynomial and Rational Inequalities Algebraically  Step 1: W  rite the inequality so that a polynomial or rational function f is on the left side and zero is on the right side in one of the following forms: f1x2 7 0

f1x2 Ú 0

For rational functions, be sure that the left side is written as a single quotient. Find the domain of f. Step 2:  Determine the real numbers at which f1x2 = 0 and, if the function is rational, the real numbers at which the function f is undefined. Step 3:  Use the numbers found in Step 2 to divide the real number line into intervals. Step 4: Select a number in each interval and evaluate f at the number.

OBJECTIVES 1 Use the Remainder and Factor Theorems (p. 231)

In Section 4.1, we were able to identify the real zeros of a polynomial function because either the polynomial function was in factored form or it could be easily factored. But how do we find the real zeros of a polynomial function if it is not factored or cannot be easily factored? Recall that if r is a real zero of a polynomial function f, then f1r2 = 0, r is an x-intercept of the graph of f, x - r is a factor of f, and r is a solution of the equation f1x2 = 0. For example, if x - 4 is a factor of f, then 4 is a real zero of f, and 4 is a solution to the equation f1x2 = 0. For polynomial functions, we have seen the importance of the real zeros for graphing. In most cases, however, the real zeros of a polynomial function are difficult to find using algebraic methods. No nice formulas like the quadratic formula are available to help us find zeros for polynomials of degree 3 or higher. Formulas do exist for solving any third- or fourth-degree polynomial equation, but they are somewhat complicated. No general formulas exist for polynomial equations of degree 5 or higher. Refer to the Historical Feature at the end of this section for more information.

1 Use the Remainder and Factor Theorems When one polynomial (the dividend) is divided by another (the divisor), a quotient polynomial and a remainder are obtained. The remainder is either the zero polynomial or a polynomial whose degree is less than the degree of the divisor. To check, verify that 1Quotient2 1Divisor2 + Remainder = Dividend

This checking routine is the basis for a famous theorem called the division algorithm* for polynomials, which we now state without proof.

*A systematic process in which certain steps are repeated a finite number of times is called an algorithm. For example, polynomial division is an algorithm.

CHAPTER 4  Polynomial and Rational Functions

THEOREM  Division Algorithm for Polynomials If f (x) and g(x) denote polynomial functions and if g(x) is a polynomial whose degree is greater than zero, then there are unique polynomial functions q(x) and r (x) for which

or f1x2 = q 1x2g1x2 + r 1x2

dividend quotient divisor remainder

where r(x) is either the zero polynomial or a polynomial of degree less than that of g(x).

In equation (1), f (x) is the dividend, g(x) is the divisor, q(x) is the quotient, and r (x) is the remainder. If the divisor g(x) is a first-degree polynomial of the form g1x2 = x - c

c a real number

then the remainder r(x) is either the zero polynomial or a polynomial of degree 0. As a result, for such divisors, the remainder is some number, say R, and we may write f1x2 = 1x - c2q 1x2 + R (2)

This equation is an identity in x and is true for all real numbers x. Suppose that x = c. Then equation (2) becomes f1c2 = 1c - c2q 1c2 + R f1c2 = R Substitute f(c) for R in equation (2) to obtain f1x2 = 1x - c2q 1x2 + f1c2 (3)

which proves the Remainder Theorem.

REMAINDER THEOREM  Suppose f is a polynomial function. If f(x) is divided by x - c, then the remainder is f(c).

E XAM PLE 1

Using the Remainder Theorem Find the remainder when f1x2 = x3 - 4x2 - 5 is divided by (a) x - 3 (b)  x + 2

Solution

(a) Either polynomial division or synthetic division could be used, but it is easier to use the Remainder Theorem, which states that the remainder is f(3). f132 = 33 - 4 # 32 - 5 = 27 - 36 - 5 = - 14

COMMENT  A graphing utility provides another way to find the value of a function using the eVALUEate feature. Consult your manual for details. Then check the results of Example 1. ■

The remainder is - 14. (b) To find the remainder when f(x) is divided by x + 2 = x - 1 - 22, find f1 - 22. f1 - 22 = 1 - 22 3 - 41 - 22 2 - 5 = - 8 - 16 - 5 = - 29

The remainder is - 29.

Compare the method used in Example 1(a) with the method used in Example 1 of Section A.4. Which method do you prefer?

SECTION 4.6  The Real Zeros of a Polynomial Function 

233

An important and useful consequence of the Remainder Theorem is the Factor Theorem. FACTOR THEOREM  Suppose f is a polynomial function. Then x - c is a factor of f (x) if and only if f1c2 = 0. The Factor Theorem actually consists of two separate statements: 1. If f1c2 = 0, then x - c is a factor of f (x). 2. If x - c is a factor of f (x), then f1c2 = 0. The proof requires two parts. Proof 1. Suppose that f1c2 = 0. Then, by equation (3), we have f1x2 = 1x - c2q 1x2

for some polynomial q(x). That is, x - c is a factor of f (x). 2. Suppose that x - c is a factor of f (x). Then there is a polynomial function q for which f1x2 = 1x - c2q 1x2

Replacing x by c, we find that

f1c2 = 1c - c2q 1c2 = 0 # q 1c2 = 0

This completes the proof.

■

One use of the Factor Theorem is to determine whether a polynomial has a particular factor.

E XAM PLE 2

Using the Factor Theorem Use the Factor Theorem to determine whether the function f1x2 = 2x3 - x2 + 2x - 3 has the factor (a) x - 1    (b) x + 2

Solution

The Factor Theorem states that if f1c2 = 0, then x - c is a factor. (a) Because x - 1 is of the form x - c with c = 1, find the value of f (1). f112 = 2 # 13 - 12 + 2 # 1 - 3 = 2 - 1 + 2 - 3 = 0

By the Factor Theorem, x - 1 is a factor of f (x). (b) To test the factor x + 2, first write it in the form x - c. Since x + 2 = x - 1 - 22 , find the value of f1 - 22. Using synthetic division, - 2∙ 2 - 1 2 - 4 10 2 - 5 12

The quotient is q 1x2 = 2x2 + x + 3 with a remainder of 0, as expected. Write f in factored form as f1x2 = 2x3 - x2 + 2x - 3 = 1x - 12 12x2 + x + 32

But how many real zeros can a polynomial function have? In counting the zeros of a polynomial, count each zero as many times as its multiplicity.

THEOREM  Number of Real Zeros A polynomial function cannot have more real zeros than its degree.

Proof  The proof is based on the Factor Theorem. If r is a real zero of a polynomial function f, then f1r2 = 0, and x - r is a factor of f (x). Each real zero corresponds to a factor of degree 1. Because f cannot have more first-degree factors than its ■ degree, the result follows.

of Positive and the Number of Negative Real Zeros of a Polynomial Function

Descartes’ Rule of Signs provides information about the number and location of the real zeros of a polynomial function written in standard form (omitting terms with a 0 coefficient). It uses the number of variations in the sign of the coefficients of f (x) and f1 - x2 . For example, the following polynomial function has two variations in the signs of the coefficients. f1x2 = - 3x7 + 4x4 + 3x2 - 2x - 1                 - to +

Using the Number of Real Zeros Theorem and Descartes’ Rule of Signs Discuss the real zeros of f1x2 = 3x7 - 4x4 + 3x3 + 2x2 - x - 3.

Solution

Because the polynomial is of degree 7, by the Number of Real Zeros Theorem there are at most seven real zeros. Since there are three variations in the sign of the nonzero coefficients of f(x), by Descartes’ Rule of Signs we expect either three positive real zeros or one positive real zero. To continue, look at f1 - x2. f1 - x2 = - 3x7 - 4x4 - 3x3 + 2x2 + x - 3 There are two variations in sign, so we expect either two negative real zeros or no negative real zeros. Equivalently, we now know that the graph of f has either three positive x-intercepts or one positive x-intercept and two negative x-intercepts or no negative x-intercepts. Now Work

CHAPTER 4  Polynomial and Rational Functions

Be sure that you understand what the Rational Zeros Theorem says: For a polynomial with integer coefficients, if there is a rational zero, it is one of those listed. It may be the case that the function does not have any rational zeros. Polynomial division, synthetic division, or substitution can be used to test each potential rational zero to determine whether it is indeed a zero. To make the work easier, integers are usually tested first.

Finding the Real Zeros of a Polynomial Function Find the real zeros of the polynomial function f1x2 = 2x3 + 11x2 - 7x - 6. Write f in factored form.

Step-by-Step Solution

Since f is a polynomial of degree 3, there are at most three real zeros.

Step 1 Use the degree of the polynomial to determine the maximum number of zeros. Step 2 Use Descartes’ Rule of Signs to determine the possible number of positive real zeros and negative real zeros.

By Descartes’ Rule of Signs, there is one positive real zero. Also, because

Step 3 If the polynomial has integer coefficients, use the Rational Zeros Theorem to identify the rational numbers that are potential zeros. Use substitution, synthetic division, or polynomial division to determine whether each potential rational zero is a zero. If it is, factor the polynomial function. Repeat Step 3 until all the rational zeros of the polynomial function have been identified, or until the function can be factored.

List the potential rational zeros obtained in Example 4:

f1 - x2 = - 2x3 + 11x2 + 7x - 6 there are two negative real zeros or no negative real zeros.

-6 6 0

Since f112 = 0, 1 is a zero of f and x - 1 is a factor of f. So, f1x2 = 2x3 + 11x2 - 7x - 6 = 1x - 12 12x2 + 13x + 62

Now any solution of the equation 2x2 + 13x + 6 = 0 is also a zero of f. The equation 2x2 + 13x + 6 = 0 is called a depressed equation of f. Because any solution to the equation 2x2 + 13x + 6 = 0 is a zero of f, work with the depressed equation to find the remaining zeros of f. The depressed equation 2x2 + 13x + 6 = 0 can be factored.

2x2 + 13x + 6 = 12x + 12 1x + 62 = 0

2x + 1 = 0  or  x + 6 = 0 1 x = - or x = -6 2

1 The zeros of f are - 6, - , and 1. 2 The factored form of f is: f1x2 = 2x3 + 11x2 - 7x - 6 = 1x - 1212x2 + 13x + 62

= 1x - 1212x + 12 1x + 62

Notice in Example 5 that all three zeros of f are in the list of potential rational zeros and agree with what was expected from Descartes’ Rule of Signs.

SUMMARY Steps for Finding the Real Zeros of a Polynomial Function Step 1: Use the degree of the polynomial to determine the maximum number of real zeros. Step 2:  Use Descartes’ Rule of Signs to determine the possible number of positive real zeros and negative real zeros. Step 3: •  If the polynomial has integer coefficients, use the Rational Zeros Theorem to identify those rational numbers that potentially could be zeros. •  Use substitution, synthetic division, or polynomial division to test each potential rational zero. Each time a zero is obtained, a factor is found. Repeat Step 3 on the depressed equation. •  When searching for the zeros, use factoring techniques already known when possible.

Finding the Real Zeros of a Polynomial Function Find the real zeros of f1x2 = x5 - 7x4 + 19x3 - 37x2 + 60x - 36. Write f in factored form.

Solution

Step 1: Because f is a polynomial of degree 5, there are at most five real zeros. Step 2: By Descartes’ Rule of Signs, there are five, three, or one positive real zeros. There are no negative real zeros because f1 - x2 = - x5 - 7x4 - 19x3 - 37x2 - 60x - 36 has no sign variation. Step 3: Because the leading coefficient a5 = 1 and there are no negative real zeros, the potential rational zeros are limited to the positive integers 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36 (the positive factors of the constant term, 36). Test the potential rational zero 1 first, using synthetic division. 1∙ 1 1

- 7 19 - 37 60 - 36 1 -6 13 - 24 36 - 6 13 - 24 36 0

The remainder is f112 = 0, so 1 is a zero and x - 1 is a factor of f. Use the entries in the bottom row of the synthetic division to begin factoring f. f1x2 = x5 - 7x4 + 19x3 - 37x2 + 60x - 36 = 1x - 12 1x4 - 6x3 + 13x2 - 24x + 362

Continue the process using the depressed equation:

q1 1x2 = x4 - 6x3 + 13x2 - 24x + 36 = 0

Repeat Step 3: The potential rational zeros of q1 are still 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36. Test 1 again, since it may be a repeated zero of f. 1∙ 1 - 6 13 - 24 36 1 -5 8 - 16 1 -5 8 - 16 20 Since the remainder is 20, 1 is not a repeated zero. Try 2 next. 2∙ 1 - 6 13 - 24 36 2 - 8 10 - 38 1 -4 5 - 14 8 Since the remainder is 8, 2 is not a zero. Try 3 next. 3∙ 1 - 6 13 - 24 36 3 - 9 12 - 36 1 -3 4 - 12 0

238 

CHAPTER 4  Polynomial and Rational Functions

The remainder is f132 = 0, so 3 is a zero and x - 3 is a factor of f. Use the bottom row of the synthetic division to continue the factoring of f. f1x2 = x5 - 7x4 + 19x3 - 37x2 + 60x - 36 = 1x - 12 1x - 32 1x3 - 3x2 + 4x - 122

The remaining zeros satisfy the new depressed equation

q2 1x2 = x3 - 3x2 + 4x - 12 = 0

Notice that q2 1x2 can be factored by grouping. Alternatively, Step 3 could be repeated to again check the potential rational zero 3. The potential rational zeros 1 and 2 would no longer be checked because they have already been eliminated. Now x3 - 3x2 + 4x - 12 = 0 x2 1x - 32 + 41x - 32 = 0 1x2 + 42 1x - 32 = 0

x2 + 4 = 0

or

x - 3 = 0

x = 3 Since x + 4 = 0 has no real solutions, the real zeros of f are 1 and 3, with 3 being a repeated zero of multiplicity 2. The factored form of f is 2

f1x2 = x5 - 7x4 + 19x3 - 37x2 + 60x - 36

In Example 6, the quadratic factor x2 + 4 that appears in the factored form of f is called irreducible, because the polynomial x2 + 4 cannot be factored over the real numbers. In general, a quadratic factor ax2 + bx + c is irreducible if it cannot be factored over the real numbers—that is, if it is prime over the real numbers. Refer to Examples 5 and 6. The polynomial function of Example 5 has three real zeros, and its factored form contains three linear factors. The polynomial function of Example 6 has two distinct real zeros, and its factored form contains two distinct linear factors and one irreducible quadratic factor. THEOREM  Every polynomial function with real coefficients can be uniquely factored into a product of linear factors and/or irreducible quadratic factors. We prove this result in Section 4.7, and in fact, we shall draw several additional conclusions about the zeros of a polynomial function. One conclusion is worth noting now. If a polynomial with real coefficients is of odd degree, it must have at least one linear factor. (Do you see why? Consider the end behavior of polynomial functions of odd degree.) This means that it must have at least one real zero.

THEOREM  A polynomial function with real coefficients of odd degree has at least one real zero.

6 Use the Theorem for Bounds on Zeros

The work involved in finding the zeros of a polynomial function can be reduced somewhat if upper and lower bounds to the zeros can be found. A number M is an upper bound to the zeros of a polynomial f if no zero of f is greater than M. The number m is a lower bound if no zero of f is less than m. Accordingly, if m is a lower bound and M is an upper bound to the zeros of a polynomial function f, then

m … any zero of f … M For polynomials with integer coefficients, knowing the values of a lower bound m and an upper bound M may enable you to eliminate some potential rational zeros— that is, any zeros outside the interval [m, M]. THEOREM  Bounds on Zeros Let f denote a polynomial function whose leading coefficient is positive. • If M 7 0 is a real number and if the third row in the process of synthetic division of f by x - M contains only numbers that are positive or zero, then M is an upper bound to the real zeros of f. • If m 6 0 is a real number and if the third row in the process of synthetic division of f by x - m contains numbers that alternate positive (or 0) and negative (or 0), then m is a lower bound to the real zeros of f.

NOTE  When finding a lower bound, a 0 can be treated as either positive or negative, but not both. For example, the numbers 3, 0, 5 would be considered to alternate sign, whereas 3, 0, - 5 would not. j■

Proof (Outline)  We give only an outline of the proof of the first part of the theorem. Suppose that M is a positive real number, and the third row in the process of synthetic division of the polynomial ƒ by x - M contains only numbers that are positive or 0. Then there are a quotient q and a remainder R for which f1x2 = 1x - M2q 1x2 + R

where the coefficients of q(x) are positive or 0 and the remainder R Ú 0. Then, for any x 7 M, we must have x - M 7 0, q1x2 7 0, and R Ú 0, so that f1x2 7 0. That is, there is no zero of f larger than M. The proof of the second part follows similar reasoning. ■ In finding bounds, it is preferable to find the smallest upper bound and largest lower bound. This will require repeated synthetic division until a desired pattern is observed. For simplicity, we consider only potential rational zeros that are integers. If a bound is not found using these values, continue checking positive and/or negative integers until you find both an upper and a lower bound.

E XAM PLE 8

Finding Upper and Lower Bounds of Zeros For the polynomial function f1x2 = 2x3 + 11x2 - 7x - 6, use the Bounds on Zeros Theorem to find integer upper and lower bounds to the zeros of f.

Continue checking 2, 3, and 6 (and then subsequent positive integers), if necessary, until an upper bound is found. To find a lower bound, start with the largest negative integer that is a potential rational zero, which is - 1. Continue checking - 2, - 3, and - 6 (and then subsequent negative integers), if necessary, until a lower bound is found. Table 16 summarizes the results of doing repeated synthetic

Alternating signs

For r = 1, the third row of synthetic division contains only numbers that are positive or 0, so we know there are no real zeros greater than 1. Since the third row of synthetic division for r = - 7 results in alternating positive (or 0) and negative (or 0) values, we know that - 7 is a lower bound. There are no real zeros less than - 7. Notice that in looking for bounds, two zeros were discovered. These zeros are 1 and - 6. Now Work

69

If the leading coefficient of f is negative, the upper and lower bounds can still be found by first multiplying the polynomial by - 1. Since - f 1x2 = 1 - 12f1x2 , the zeros of - f 1x2 are the same as the zeros of f(x).

7 Use the Intermediate Value Theorem

The next result, called the Intermediate Value Theorem, is based on the fact that the graph of a polynomial function is continuous; that is, it contains no “holes” or “gaps.” THEOREM  Intermediate Value Theorem Let f denote a polynomial function. If a 6 b and if f (a) and f (b) are of opposite sign, there is at least one real zero of f between a and b. Although the proof of the Intermediate Value Theorem requires advanced methods in calculus, it is easy to “see” why the result is true. Look at Figure 49. y

Let’s look at the polynomial function f of Example 9 more closely. From Descartes’ Rule of Signs, f  has exactly one positive real zero. From the Rational Zeros Theorem, 1 is the only potential positive rational zero. Since f112 ∙ 0, the zero between 1 and 2 is irrational. The Intermediate Value Theorem can be used to approximate it. Steps for Approximating the Real Zeros of a Polynomial Function Step 1: Find two consecutive integers a and a + 1 for which f  has a real zero between them. Step 2: Divide the interval 3 a, a + 14 into 10 equal subintervals. Step 3: Evaluate f at the endpoints of each subinterval until the sign of f changes. Then by the Intermediate Value Theorem, this interval contains a real zero. Step 4: Now divide the new interval into 10 equal subintervals and repeat Step 3. Step 5: Continue with Steps 3 and 4 until the desired accuracy is achieved. Note: If at Step 3 the value of f equals 0, the process ends since that value is a zero.

Approximating a Real Zero of a Polynomial Function Find the positive real zero of f1x2 = x5 - x3 - 1 correct to two decimal places.

Solution

From Example 9 we know that the positive real zero is between 1 and 2. Divide the interval 3 1, 24 into 10 equal subintervals: 3 1, 1.14, 3 1.1, 1.24, 3 1.2, 1.34, 3 1.3, 1.44, 3 1.4, 1.54 , 3 1.5, 1.64 , 3 1.6, 1.74 , 3 1.7, 1.84 , 3 1.8, 1.94 , 3 1.9, 24 . Now find the value of  f1x2 = x5 - x3 - 1 at each endpoint until the Intermediate Value Theorem applies. f11.02 = - 1  f11.12 = - 0.72049     f11.22 = - 0.23968  f11.32 = 0.51593 We can stop here and conclude that the zero is between 1.2 and 1.3. Now divide the interval 3 1.2, 1.34 into 10 equal subintervals and evaluate f at each endpoint. f11.202 = - 0.23968

f11.232 ≈ - 0.0455613

f11.212 ≈ - 0.1778185 f11.222 ≈ - 0.1131398 f11.242 ≈ 0.025001

The zero lies between 1.23 and 1.24, and so, correct to two decimal places, the zero is 1.23. 4

Exploration We examine the polynomial function f given in Example 10. The Theorem on Bounds of Zeros tells us that every real zero is between - 1 and 2. Graphing f using - 1 … x … 2 (see Figure 50), we see that f has exactly one x-intercept. Using ZERO or ROOT, we find this zero to be 1.23 correct to two decimal places.

There are many other numerical techniques for approximating a real zero of a polynomial.

ormulas for the solution of third- and fourth-degree polynomial equations exist, and while not very practical, they do have an interesting history. In the 1500s in Italy, mathematical contests were a popular pastime, and people who possessed methods for solving problems kept them secret. (Solutions that were published were already common knowledge.) Niccolo of Brescia (1499—1557), commonly referred to as Tartaglia (“the stammerer”), had the secret for solving cubic (third-degree) equations, which gave him a decided advantage in the contests. Girolamo Cardano (1501—1576) learned that Tartaglia had the secret, and, being interested in cubics, he requested it from Tartaglia. The reluctant Tartaglia hesitated for some time, but finally, swearing Cardano to secrecy with midnight oaths by candlelight, told him the secret. Cardano then published the solution in his book

Ars Magna (1545), giving Tartaglia the credit but rather compromising the secrecy. Tartaglia exploded into bitter recriminations, and each wrote pamphlets that reflected on the other’s mathematics, moral character, and ancestry. The quartic (fourth-degree) equation was solved by Cardano’s student Lodovico Ferrari, and this solution also was included, with credit and this time with permission, in the Ars Magna. Attempts were made to solve the fifth-degree equation in similar ways, all of which failed. In the early 1800s, P. Ruffini, Niels Abel, and Evariste Galois all found ways to show that it is not possible to solve fifth-degree equations by formula, but the proofs required the introduction of new methods. Galois’s methods eventually developed into a large part of modern algebra.

Suppose that it is f(a) and f 1m1 2 that are of opposite sign. Now evaluate f at the midpoint m2 of a and m1. Repeat this process until the desired degree of accuracy is obtained. Note that each iteration places the zero in an interval whose length is half that of the previous interval. Use the bisection method to approximate the zero of f 1x2 = 8x4 - 2x2 + 5x - 1 in the interval [0, 1] correct to three decimal places.

CHAPTER 4  Polynomial and Rational Functions

Need to Review? Complex numbers and the complex solutions of a quadratic equation are discussed in Appendix A, pp. A54–A61.

In Section 4.6, we found the real zeros of polynomial functions of degree 3 or higher. In this section we will find the complex zeros of polynomial functions of degree 3 or higher. DEFINITION  Complex Zeros A variable in the complex number system is referred to as a complex variable. A complex polynomial function f of degree n is a function of the form f1x2 = anxn + an - 1xn - 1 + g + a1x + a0 (1)



where an, an - 1, c , a1, a0 are complex numbers, an ∙ 0, n is a nonnegative integer, and x is a complex variable. As before, an is called the leading coefficient of f. A complex number r is called a complex zero of f if f1r2 = 0. In most of our work, the coefficients in (1) are real numbers. We have learned that some quadratic equations have no real solutions, but that in the complex number system every quadratic equation has at least one solution, either real or complex. The next result, proved by Karl Friedrich Gauss (1777–1855) when he was 22 years old,* gives an extension to complex polynomials. In fact, this result is so important and useful that it has become known as the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. Fundamental Theorem of Algebra  Every complex polynomial function f of degree n Ú 1 has at least one complex zero. We shall not prove this result, as the proof is beyond the scope of this text. However, using the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra and the Factor Theorem, we can prove the following result: THEOREM  Every complex polynomial function f of degree n Ú 1 can be factored into n linear factors (not necessarily distinct) of the form

f1x2 = an 1x - r1 21x - r2 2

#

g # 1x - rn 2 (2)

where an, r1, r2, c , rn are complex numbers. That is, every complex polynomial function of degree n Ú 1 has exactly n complex zeros, some of which may repeat. Proof  Let  f1x2 = anxn + an - 1xn - 1 + g +a1x + a0. By the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra, f has at least one zero, say r1. Then, by the Factor Theorem, x - r1 is a factor, and f1x2 = 1x - r1 2q1 1x2

where q1 1x2 is a complex polynomial of degree n - 1 whose leading coefficient is an. Repeating this argument n times, we arrive at f1x2 = 1x - r1 2 1x - r2 2

#

g # 1x - rn 2qn 1x2

where qn 1x2 is a complex polynomial of degree n - n = 0 whose leading coefficient is an. That is, qn 1x2 = anx0 = an, and so f1x2 = an 1x - r1 2 1x - r2 2

#

g # 1x - rn 2

We conclude that every complex polynomial function f of degree n Ú 1 has exactly n (not necessarily distinct) zeros. ■ *In all, Gauss gave four different proofs of this theorem, the first one in 1799 being the subject of his doctoral dissertation.

SECTION 4.7  Complex Zeros; Fundamental Theorem of Algebra

1 Use the Conjugate Pairs Theorem The Fundamental Theorem of Algebra can be used to obtain valuable information about the complex zeros of polynomial functions whose coefficients are real numbers.

Conjugate Pairs Theorem  Suppose f is a polynomial function whose coefficients are real numbers. If r = a + bi is a zero of f, the complex conjugate r = a - bi is also a zero of f.

In other words, for polynomial functions whose coefficients are real numbers, the complex zeros occur in conjugate pairs. This result should not be all that surprising since the complex zeros of a quadratic function occurred in conjugate pairs.

Proof  Let f1x2 = anxn + an - 1xn - 1 + g + a1x + a0 where an, an - 1, c , a1, a0 are real numbers and an ∙ 0. If r = a + bi is a zero of f, then f1r2 = f1a + bi2 = 0, so anr n + an - 1r n - 1 + g + a1r + a0 = 0 Take the conjugate of both sides to get anr n + an - 1r n - 1 + g + a1r + a0 = 0

The conjugate of a sum equals the sum

anr n + an - 1r n - 1 + g + a1r + a0 = 0 of the conjugates (see Section A.7). an 1r2 an 1r2

The conjugate of a product equals

n-1

+ g + a1r + a0 = 0 The conjugate of a real number equals the real number.

This last equation states that f1r2 = 0; that is, r = a - bi is a zero of f.

■

The importance of this result is that once we know a complex number, say 3 + 4i, is a zero of a polynomial function with real coefficients, then we know that its conjugate 3 - 4i is also a zero. This result has an important corollary.

Corollary  A polynomial function f of odd degree with real coefficients has at least one real zero.

Proof  Because complex zeros occur as conjugate pairs in a polynomial function with real coefficients, there will always be an even number of zeros that are not real numbers. Consequently, since f is of odd degree, one of its zeros must be a real number. ■

For example, the polynomial function f1x2 = x5 - 3x4 + 4x3 - 5 has at least one zero that is a real number, since f is of degree 5 (odd) and has real coefficients.

2 Find a Polynomial Function with Specified Zeros E XAM PLE 2

Finding a Polynomial Function Whose Zeros Are Given Find a polynomial function f of degree 4 whose coefficients are real numbers that has the zeros 1, 1, and - 4 + i.

Solution

Since - 4 + i is a zero, by the Conjugate Pairs Theorem, - 4 - i is also a zero of f. From the Factor Theorem, if f1c2 = 0, then x - c is a factor of f(x). So f can now be written as f1x2 = a1x - 12 1x - 12 3 x - 1 - 4 + i2 4 3 x - 1 - 4 - i2 4

where a is any nonzero real number. Then

f1x2 = a1x - 12 1x - 12 3 x - 1 - 4 + i2 4 3 x - 1 - 4 - i2 4 = a1x2 - 2x + 12 3 1x + 42 - i4 3 1x + 42 + i4 = a1x2 - 2x + 12[1x + 422 - i 2]

= a1x2 - 2x + 12[x2 + 8x + 16 - 1 - 12]   i 2 ∙ ∙1 = a1x2 - 2x + 121x2 + 8x + 172

= a1x4 + 8x3 + 17x2 - 2x3 - 16x2 - 34x + x2 + 8x + 172 = a1x4 + 6x3 + 2x2 - 26x + 172

Exploration Graph the function f found in Example 2 for a = 1. Does the value of a affect the zeros of f  ? How does the value of a affect the graph of f ? What information about f is sufficient to uniquely determine a?

Result  An analysis of the polynomial function f tells us what to expect:

Figure 51 shows the complete graph on a TI-84 Plus C. (Do you see why? The graph has exactly three turning points.) The value of a causes a stretch or compression; a reflection also occurs if a 6 0. The zeros are not affected. If any point other than an x-intercept on the graph of f is known, then a can be determined. For example, if (2, 3) is on the graph, then f122 = 3 = a 1372 , so a = 3>37. Why won’t an x-intercept work?

SECTION 4.7  Complex Zeros; Fundamental Theorem of Algebra 

249

We can now prove the theorem stated in Section 4.6. THEOREM  Every polynomial function with real coefficients can be uniquely factored over the real numbers into a product of linear factors and/or irreducible quadratic factors. Proof  Every complex polynomial function f of degree n has exactly n zeros and can be factored into a product of n linear factors. If its coefficients are real, the zeros that are complex numbers always occur in conjugate pairs. As a result, if r = a + bi is a complex zero, then so is r = a - bi. Consequently, when the linear factors x - r and x - r of f are multiplied, we have 1x - r2 1x - r2 = x2 - 1r + r2x + rr = x2 - 2ax + a2 + b2

This second-degree polynomial has real coefficients and is irreducible (over the real numbers). So, the factors of f are either linear or irreducible quadratic factors. ■ Now Work

Solution

Step 1: The degree of f is 4, so f has four complex zeros. Step 2: S  ince the coefficients of f are real numbers, Descartes’ Rule of Signs can be used to obtain information about the real zeros. For this polynomial function, there is one positive real zero. There are three negative real zeros or one negative real zero, because f1 - x2 = 3x4 - 5x3 + 25x2 - 45x - 18 has three variations in sign. Step 3: S  ince the coefficients of f are integers, the Rational Zeros Theorem can be used to obtain information about the potential rational zeros of f.

Exponential and Logarithmic Functions Depreciation of Cars You are ready to buy that first new car. You know that cars lose value over time due to depreciation and that different cars have different rates of depreciation. So you will research the depreciation rates for the cars you are thinking of buying. After all, for cars that sell for about the same price, the lower the depreciation rate, the more the car will be worth each year.

A Look Back Until now, our study of functions has concentrated on polynomial and rational functions. These functions belong to the class of algebraic functions—that is, functions that can be expressed in terms of sums, differences, products, quotients, powers, or roots of polynomials. Functions that are not algebraic are termed transcendental. That is, they transcend, or go beyond, algebraic functions.

A Look Ahead In this chapter, we study two transcendental functions: the exponential function and the logarithmic function. These functions occur frequently in a wide variety of applications, such as biology, chemistry, economics, and psychology. The chapter begins with a discussion of composite, one-to-one, and inverse functions— concepts that are needed to explain the relationship between exponential and logarithmic functions.

Form a Composite Function

Figure 1 

Suppose that an oil tanker is leaking oil and you want to determine the area of the circular oil patch around the ship. See Figure 1. It is determined that the radius of the circular patch of oil around the ship is increasing at a rate of 3 feet per minute. Then the radius r of the oil patch at any time t, in minutes, is given by r 1t2 = 3t. So after 20 minutes, the radius of the oil patch is r 1202 = 31202 = 60 feet. The area A of a circle is a function of the radius r given by A 1r2 = pr 2. The area of the circular patch of oil after 20 minutes is A 1602 = p1602 2 = 3600p square feet. Note that 60 = r 1202, so A 1602 = A 1r 1202 2. The argument of the function A is the output of the function r. In general, the area of the oil patch can be expressed as a function of time t by evaluating A 1r 1t2 2 and obtaining A 1r 1t2 2 = A 13t2 = p13t2 2 = 9pt 2. The function A 1r 1t2 2 is a special type of function called a composite function. As another example, consider the function y = 12x + 32 2. Let y = f1u2 = u2 and u = g1x2 = 2x + 3. Then by a substitution process, the original function is obtained as follows: y = f1u2 = f 1g1x2 2 = 12x + 32 2. In general, suppose that f and g are two functions and that x is a number in the domain of g. Evaluating g at x yields g1x2 . If g1x2 is in the domain of f, then evaluating f at g1x2 yields the expression f1g1x2 2. The correspondence from x to f1g1x2 2 is called a composite function f ∘ g. DEFINITION  Composite Function Given two functions f and g, the composite function, denoted by f ∘ g (read as “ f composed with g”), is defined by 1f ∘ g2 1x2 = f1g1x2 2

The domain of f ∘ g is the set of all numbers x in the domain of g for which g1x2 is in the domain of f. Look carefully at Figure 2. Only those values of x in the domain of g for which g1x2 is in the domain of f can be in the domain of f ∘ g. The reason is if g1x2 is not in the domain of f, then f1g1x2 2 is not defined. Because of this, the domain of f ∘ g is a subset of the domain of g; the range of f ∘ g is a subset of the range of f. Domain of g x x Domain of f ° g

Solution

The domain of f and the domain of g are the set of all real numbers. (a) 1f ∘ g2 1x2 = f 1g1x2 2 = f12x + 32 = 12x + 32 2 + 312x + 32 - 1 c c 2        g 1x 2 = 2x + 3   f 1 x 2 = x + 3x − 1 = 4x2 + 12x + 9 + 6x + 9 - 1 = 4x2 + 18x + 17

Because the domains of both f and g are the set of all real numbers, the domain of f ∘ g is the set of all real numbers. *Consult your user’s manual for the appropriate keystrokes.

Because the domains of both f and g are the set of all real numbers, the domain of g ∘ f is the set of all real numbers. Example 2 illustrates that, in general, f ∘ g ≠ g ∘ f. Sometimes f ∘ g does equal g ∘ f, as we shall see in Example 5. Look back at Figure 2 on page 259. In determining the domain of the composite function 1f ∘ g2 1x2 = f1g1x2 2 , keep the following two thoughts in mind about the input x. • Any x not in the domain of g must be excluded. • Any x for which g(x) is not in the domain of f must be excluded.

For 1f ∘ g2 1x2 = f1g1x2 2, first note that the domain of g is 5 x∙ x ≠ 16 , so 1 is excluded from the domain of f ∘ g. Next note that the domain of f is 5 x∙ x ≠ - 26 , which means that g1x2 cannot equal - 2. Solve the equation g1x2 = - 2 to determine what additional value(s) of x to exclude. 4 = -2 x - 1 4 4 2x x

4 is not defined, so 1f ∘ g2 112 = f1g112 2 is not x - 1

For x = - 1, g1 - 12 = - 2, and 1f ∘ g2 1 - 12 = f1g1 - 12 2 = f1 - 22 is not defined.

CHAPTER 5   Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

In Example 3, the domain of f ∘ g was found to be 5 x x ≠ - 1, x ≠ 16 . The domain of f ∘ g also can be found by first looking at the domain of g: 5 x x ≠ 16 . Exclude 1 from the domain of f ∘ g as a result. Then look at f ∘ g and note that x cannot equal - 1, because x = - 1 results in division by 0. So exclude - 1 from the domain of f ∘ g. Therefore, the domain of f ∘ g is 5 x x ≠ - 1, x ≠ 16 . (b) 1 f ∘ f 2 1x2 = f1 f1x2 2 = f a

Multiply by

x + 2 . x + 2

The domain of f ∘ f consists of all values of x in the domain of f, 5 x x ≠ - 26 , for 1 which f1x2 = ≠ - 2. To find other numbers x to exclude,  solve the equation x+2 1 = -2 x + 2 1 = - 21x + 22 1 = - 2x - 4 2x = - 5 x = -

5 5 So f1x2 ≠ - 2 if x ≠ - . The domain of f ∘ f is e x ` x ≠ - , x ≠ - 2 f. 2 2 The domain of f ∘ f also can be found by noting that - 2 is not in the domain of f and so is not in the domain of f ∘ f. Then, looking at f ∘ f, note that x cannot 5 5 equal - . Do you see why? Therefore, the domain of f ∘ f is e x ` x ≠ - , x ≠ - 2 f. 2 2 Now Work   p r o b l e m s 2 7

Calculus Application Some techniques in calculus require the ability to determine the components of a composite function. For example, the function H1x2 = 1x + 1 is the composition of the functions f and g, where f1x2 = 1x and g1x2 = x + 1, because H1x2 = 1f ∘ g2 1x2 = f1g1x2 2 = f1x + 12 = 1x + 1.

Finding the Components of a Composite Function 50

Solution

Find functions f and g so that f ∘ g = H when H1x2 = 1x2 + 12 .

g x

f g(x) = x 2 + 1 H

The function H raises the expression x2 + 1 to the power 50. A natural way to decompose H is to raise the function g1x2 = x2 + 1 to the power 50. Let f1x2 = x50 and g1x2 = x2 + 1. Then

f (g(x)) = f(x 2 + 1) 2 50 = (x + 1)

1f ∘ g2 1x2 = f1g1x2 2 = f1x2 + 12 = 1x2 + 12

H(x) = (x + 1) 2

See Figure 5.

Other functions f and g may be found for which f ∘ g = H in Example 6. For 25 instance, if f1x2 = x2 and g1x2 = 1x2 + 12 , then 1f ∘ g2 1x2 = f1g1x2 2 = f 1 1x2 + 12

Although the functions f and g found as a solution to Example 6 are not unique, there is usually a “natural” selection for f and g that comes to mind first.

For example, Figures 6 and 7 illustrate two different functions represented as mappings. The function in Figure 6 shows the correspondence between states and their populations (in millions).

Suppose several people are asked to name a state that has a population of 0.9 million based on the function in Figure 6. Everyone will respond “South Dakota.” Now, if the same people are asked to name an animal whose life expectancy is 11 years based on the function in Figure 7, some may respond “dog,” while others may respond “cat.” What is the difference between the functions in Figures 6 and 7? In Figure 6, no two elements in the domain correspond to the same element in the range. In Figure 7, this is not the case: Different elements in the domain correspond to the same element in the range. Functions such as the one in Figure 6 are given a special name. DEFINITION  One-to-One

In Words

A function is not one-to-one if two different inputs correspond to the same output.

A function is one-to-one if any two different inputs in the domain correspond to two different outputs in the range. That is, if x1 and x2 are two different inputs of a function f, then f is one-to-one if f1x1 2 ≠ f1x2 2.

Put another way, a function f is one-to-one if no y in the range is the image of more than one x in the domain. A function is not one-to-one if any two (or more) different elements in the domain correspond to the same element in the range. So the function in Figure 7 is not one-to-one because two different elements in the domain,

For functions defined by an equation y = f 1x2 and for which the graph of f is known, there is a simple test, called the horizontal-line test, to determine whether f is one-to-one. y y 5 f (x) (x 1, h) x1

THEOREM  Horizontal-line Test y5h x

Figure 9 

f 1x1 2 = f 1x2 2 = h and x1 ≠ x 2 ; f is not a one-to-one function.

If every horizontal line intersects the graph of a function f in at most one point, then f is one-to-one. The reason why this test works can be seen in Figure 9, where the horizontal line y = h intersects the graph at two distinct points, 1x1 , h2 and 1x2 , h2. Since h is the image of both x1 and x2 and x1 ≠ x2 , f is not one-to-one. Based on Figure 9, we can state the horizontal-line test in another way: If the graph of any horizontal line intersects the graph of a function f at more than one point, then f is not one-to-one.

Using the Horizontal-line Test For each function, use its graph to determine whether the function is one-to-one. (a) f1x2 = x2      (b) g1x2 = x3

Solution

(a) Figure 10(a) illustrates the horizontal-line test for f 1x2 = x2. The horizontal line y = 1 intersects the graph of f twice, at (1, 1) and at 1 - 1, 12 , so f is not one-to-one. (b) Figure 10(b) illustrates the horizontal-line test for g1x2 = x3. Because every horizontal line intersects the graph of g exactly once, the function g is one-to-one.

Now Work   p r o b l e m 2 1 Look more closely at the one-to-one function g1x2 = x3. This function is an increasing function. Because an increasing (or decreasing) function always has ­different y-values for unequal x-values, it follows that a function that is increasing (or decreasing) over its domain is also a one-to-one function.

THEOREM 

• A function that is increasing on an interval I is a one-to-one function on I. • A function that is decreasing on an interval I is a one-to-one function on I.

One-to-one functions y = f1x2 have an important property. Corresponding to each x in the domain of f, there is exactly one y in the range because f is a function. And corresponding to each y in the range of f, there is exactly one x in the domain because f is one-to-one. The function represented by the correspondence from the range back to the domain is called the inverse function of f.

In Words

Suppose that f is a one-to-one function so that the input 5 corresponds to the output 10. For the inverse function f -1, the input 10 will correspond to the output 5.

DEFINITION  Inverse Function Suppose y = f 1x2 is a one-to-one function. The correspondence from the range of f to the domain of f is called the inverse function of  f. The symbol f -1 is used to denote the inverse function of f. In other words, if y = f1x2 is a one-to-one function, then f has an inverse function f -1 and x = f -1 1y2 .

Suppose 1a, b2 is a point on the graph of a one-to-one function f defined by y = f1x2. Then b = f1a2. This means that a = f -1 1b2, so 1b, a2 is a point on the graph of the inverse function f -1. The relationship between the point 1a, b2 on f and the point 1b, a2 on f -1 is shown in Figure 11. The line segment with endpoints 1a, b2 and 1b, a2 is perpendicular to the line y = x and is bisected by the line y = x. (Do you see why?) It follows that the point 1b, a2 on f -1 is the reflection about the line y = x of the point 1a, b2 on f.

Look again at Figure 14 to visualize the relationship. Starting with x, applying f, and then applying f -1 gets x back again. Starting with x, applying f -1, and then applying f gets the number x back again. To put it simply, what f does, f -1 undoes, and vice versa. See the illustration that follows. Apply f

• f1f -1 1x2 2 = x where x is in the domain of f -1

f x

f(x) = 2x

f 21 f 21(2x) = –12 ∙2x = x

Consider the function f1x2 = 2x, which multiplies the argument x by 2. The inverse function f -1 undoes whatever f does. So the inverse function of f 1 is f -1 1x2 = x, which divides the argument by 2. For example, f132 = 2 # 3 = 6 2 1 -1 and f 162 = # 6 = 3, so f -1 undoes f. This is verified by showing 2 1 1 1 -1 that f 1f1x22 = f -1 12x2 = # 2x = x and f1f -1 1x22 = f a xb = 2 # x = x. 2 2 2 See Figure 15.

4 Find the Inverse of a Function Defined by an Equation The fact that the graphs of a one-to-one function f and its inverse function f -1 are symmetric with respect to the line y = x tells us more. It says that we can obtain f -1 by interchanging the roles of x and y in f. If f is defined by the equation y = f1x2

Need to Review? Implicit functions are discussed in Section 2.1, p. 54.

then f

-1

is defined by the equation x = f1y2

The equation x = f1y2 defines f -1 implicitly. If we can solve this equation for y, we will have the explicit form of f -1, that is, y = f -1 1x2

Let’s use this procedure to find the inverse of f1x2 = 2x + 3. Because f is a linear function and is increasing,  f is one-to-one and so has an inverse function.

E XAM PLE 6 Step-by-Step Solution Step 1 Replace f 1x2 with y. Then interchange the variables x and y. This equation defines the inverse function f -1 implicitly. Step 2  If possible, solve the implicit equation for y in terms of x to obtain the explicit form of f -1, y = f -1 1x2.

Finding the Inverse of a Function Defined by an Equation Find the inverse of f1x2 = 2x + 3. Graph f and f -1 on the same coordinate axes. Replace f1x2 with y in f1x2 = 2x + 3 and obtain y = 2x + 3. Now interchange the variables x and y to obtain x = 2y + 3 This equation defines the inverse function f -1 implicitly. To find the explicit form of the inverse, solve x = 2y + 3 for y. x = 2y + 3 2y + 3 = x 2y = x - 3 y =

Finding the Inverse of a Function Defined by an Equation The function f1x2 =

is one-to-one. Find its inverse function and check the result.

Solution

Step 1: Replace f1x2 with y and interchange the variables x and y in y =

2x + 1 x - 1

x =

2y + 1 y - 1

to obtain

Step 2: Solve for y. x =

2y + 1 y - 1

x1y - 12 = 2y + 1 xy - x = 2y + 1 xy - 2y = x + 1 1x - 22y = x + 1 y =

x + 1 x - 2

Multiply both sides by y − 1. Use the Distributive Property. Subtract 2y from both sides; add x to both sides. Factor. Divide by x − 2.

The inverse function is f -1 1x2 =

x + 1 x - 2

x ≠ 2

If a function is not one-to-one, it has no inverse function. Sometimes, though, an appropriate restriction on the domain of such a function yields a new function that is one-to-one. Then the function defined on the restricted domain has an inverse function.

E XAM PLE 8 Solution

Finding the Inverse of a Domain-restricted Function Find the inverse of y = f 1x2 = x2 if x Ú 0. Graph f and f -1.

The function y = x2 is not one-to-one. [Refer to Example 2(a).] However, restricting the domain of this function to x Ú 0, as indicated, results in a new function that is increasing and therefore is one-to-one. Consequently, the function defined by y = f1x2 = x2, x Ú 0, has an inverse function, f -1. Follow the steps to find f -1. Step 1: In the equation y = x2, x Ú 0, interchange the variables x and y. The result is x = y2

This equation defines the inverse function implicitly.

Step 2: S  olve for y to get the explicit form of the inverse. Because y Ú 0, only one solution for y is obtained: y = 1x. So f -1 1x2 = 1x. Step 3:

Check: f -1 1f1x2 2 = f -1 1x2 2 = 2x2 = 0 x 0 = x because x Ú 0 f1f -1 1x2 2 = f1 1x 2 = 1 1x 2 2 = x

Figure 17 illustrates the graphs of f1x2 = x2, x Ú 0, and f -1 1x2 = 1x.

• If a function f is one-to-one, then it has an inverse function f -1. • Domain of f = Range of f -1; Range of f = Domain of f -1. To verify that f -1 is the inverse of f, show that f -1 1f1x22 = x for every x in the domain of f and that f 1f -1 1x22 = x •  for every x in the domain of f -1. • The graphs of f and f -1 are symmetric with respect to the line y = x.

Find a suitable restriction on the domain of f so that the new function that results is one-to-one. Then find the inverse of the new function.

In applications, the symbols used for the independent and dependent variables are often based on common usage. So, rather than using y = f 1x2 to represent a function, an applied problem might use C = C 1q2 to represent the cost C of manufacturing q units of a good. Because of this, the inverse notation f -1 used in a pure mathematics problem is not used when finding inverses of applied problems. Rather, the inverse of a function such as C = C 1q2 will be q = q1C2. So C = C 1q2 is a function that represents the cost C as a function of the number q of units manufactured, and q = q1C2 is a function that represents the number q as a function of the cost C. Problems 89–96 illustrate this idea.

1 Evaluate Exponential Functions Appendix A, Section A.10 gives a definition for raising a real number a to a rational power. That discussion provides meaning to expressions of the form ar where the base a is a positive real number and the exponent r is a rational number. But what is the meaning of ax, where the base a is a positive real number and the exponent x is an irrational number? Although a rigorous definition requires methods discussed in calculus, the basis for the definition is easy to follow: Select a rational number r that is formed by truncating (removing) all but a finite number of digits from the irrational number x. Then it is reasonable to expect that ax ≈ ar For example, take the irrational number p = 3.14159 c. Then an approximation to ap is ap ≈ a3.14 where the digits of p after the hundredths position are truncated. A better ­approximation is ap ≈ a3.14159 where the digits after the hundred-thousandths position are truncated. Continuing in this way, we can obtain approximations to ap to any desired degree of accuracy.

•  The value of f doubles with every 1-unit increase in the independent variable x. •  The value of f at x = 0 is 5, so f102 = 5. Table 1  x

Table 1 shows values of the function f for x = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Let’s find an equation y = f 1x2 that describes this function f. The key fact is that the value of f doubles for every 1-unit increase in x. f102 = 5 f112 = 2f102 = 2 # 5 = 5 # 21 Double the value of f at 0 to get the value at 1. 2 # # f122 = 2f112 = 215 22 = 5 2 Double the value of f at 1 to get the value at 2. 2 3 # # f132 = 2f122 = 215 2 2 = 5 2 f142 = 2f132 = 215 # 23 2 = 5 # 2 4 The pattern leads to

f1x2 = 2f1x - 12 = 215 # 2x-1 2 = 5 # 2x

DEFINITION  Exponential Function An exponential function is a function of the form f1x2 = Cax where a is a positive real number 1a 7 02, a ≠ 1, and C ≠ 0 is a real number. The domain of f is the set of all real numbers. The base a is the growth factor, and, because f102 = Ca0 = C, C is called the initial value.

SECTION 5.3  Exponential Functions 

WARNING  It is important to distinguish a power function, g 1x2 = axn, n Ú 2 an integer, from an exponential function, f1x2 = C # ax, a ≠ 1, a 7 0. In a power function, the base is a variable and the exponent is a constant. In an exponential function, the base is a constant and the exponent is a variable.  j

281

In the definition of an exponential function, the base a = 1 is excluded because this function is simply the constant function f 1x2 = C # 1x = C. Bases that are negative are also excluded; otherwise, many values of x would 1 3 have to be excluded from the domain, such as x = and x = . [Recall 2 4 4 4 that 1 - 22 1>2 = 2 - 2, 1 - 32 3>4 = 2 1 - 32 3 = 2 - 27, and so on, are not defined in the set of real numbers.] Transformations (vertical shifts, horizontal shifts, reflections, and so on) of a ­function of the form f1x2 = Cax are also exponential functions. Examples of ­such exponential functions are f1x2 = 2x

1 x F1x2 = a b + 5 3

G1x2 = 2 # 3x - 3

For each function, note that the base of the exponential expression is a constant and the exponent contains a variable. In the function f1x2 = 5 # 2x, notice that the ratio of consecutive outputs is constant for 1-unit increases in the input. This ratio equals the constant 2, the base of the exponential function. In other words, f112 5 # 21 = = 2 f102 5

f122 5 # 22 = = 2 f112 5 # 21

f132 5 # 23 = = 2 and so on f122 5 # 22

This leads to the following result. THEOREM  For an exponential function f1x2 = Cax, a 7 0, a ≠ 1, and C ≠ 0, if x is any real number, then f1x + 12 = a f1x2

In Words

For 1-unit changes in the input x of an exponential function f 1x2 = C # ax, the ratio of consecutive outputs is the constant a.

or f1x + 12 = af 1x2

Proof  f1x + 12 Cax + 1 = = ax + 1 - x = a1 = a f1x2 Cax

(a) See Table 2(a). The average rate of change for every 1-unit increase in x is - 3. Therefore, the function is a linear function. In a linear function the average rate of change is the slope m, so m = - 3. The y-intercept b is the value of the function at x = 0, so b = 2. The linear function that models the data is f1x2 = mx + b = - 3x + 2. (b) See Table 2(b). For this function, the average rate of change is not constant. So the function is not a linear function. The ratio of consecutive outputs for 1 a 1-unit increase in the inputs is a constant, . Because the ratio of consecutive 2 outputs is constant, the function is an exponential function with growth 1 factor a = . The initial value C of the exponential function is C = 16, the value 2 of the function at 0. Therefore, the exponential function that models the data 1 x is g1x2 = Cax = 16 # a b . 2

(c) See Table 2(c). For this function, neither the average rate of change nor the ratio of two consecutive outputs is constant. Because the average rate of change is not constant, the function is not a linear function. Because the ratio of consecutive outputs is not a constant, the function is not an exponential function.

2 Graph Exponential Functions If we know how to graph an exponential function of the form f 1x2 = ax, then we can use transformations (shifting, stretching, and so on) to obtain the graph of any exponential function. First, let’s graph the exponential function f1x2 = 2x.

E XAM PLE 3

Graphing an Exponential Function Graph the exponential function: f1x2 = 2x

Solution

Table 3  NOTE Recall a-n

1 = n .  a

The domain of f1x2 = 2x is the set of all real numbers. Begin by locating some points on the graph of f1x2 = 2x, as listed in Table 3. Because 2x 7 0 for all x, the graph has no x-intercepts and lies above the x-axis for all x. The y-intercept is 1. Table 3 suggests that as x S - q , the value of f approaches 0. Therefore, the x-axis 1y = 02 is a horizontal asymptote of the graph of f as x S - q . This ­provides the end behavior for x large and negative. To determine the end behavior for x large and positive, look again at Table 3. As x S q , f1x2 = 2x grows very quickly, causing the graph of f 1x2 = 2x to rise very rapidly. Using all this information, plot some of the points from Table 3 and connect them with a smooth, continuous curve, as shown in Figure 18. From the graph, we conclude that the range of f is (0, q ). We also conclude that f is an increasing function, and so f is one-to-one.

Graphs that look like the one in Figure 18 occur very frequently in a variety of situations. For example, the graph in Figure 19 on the next page shows the annual revenue of Amazon, Inc. from 2000 to 2017. One might conclude from this graph that Amazon’s annual revenue is growing exponentially. Later in this chapter, we discuss other situations that exhibit exponential growth. For now, we continue to explore properties of exponential functions.

The graph of f1x2 = 2x in Figure 18 is typical of all exponential functions of the form f1x2 = ax with a 7 1. Such functions are increasing functions and so are one-to-one. Their graphs lie above the x-axis, contain the point (0, 1), and rise rapidly as x S q . As x S - q , the x-axis 1y = 02 is a horizontal asymptote. There are no vertical asymptotes. Finally, the graphs are smooth and continuous with no corners or gaps. Figure 20 illustrates the graphs of two other exponential functions whose bases are larger than 1. Notice that the larger the base, the steeper the graph is when x 7 0, and when x 6 0, the larger the base, the closer the graph is to the x-axis.

Most calculators have the key ∙ e x∙ or ∙ exp 1x2 ∙, which may be used to approximate the exponential function for a given value of x.* Use your calculator to approximate e x for x = - 2, x = - 1, x = 0, x = 1, and x = 2. See Table 6. The graph of the exponential function f 1x2 = e x is given in Figure 27. Since 2 6 e 6 3, the graph of y = e x lies between the graphs of y = 2x and y = 3x. Do you see why?

Exponential Probability Between 9:00 pm and 10:00 pm, cars arrive at Burger King’s drive-thru at the rate of 12 cars per hour (0.2 car per minute). The following formula from probability theory can be used to determine the probability that a car will arrive within t minutes of 9:00 pm. F1t2 = 1 - e -0.2t (a) Determine the probability that a car will arrive within 5 minutes of 9 pm (that is, before 9:05 pm). (b) Determine the probability that a car will arrive within 30 minutes of 9 pm (before 9:30 pm). (c) Graph F. (d) What does F approach as t increases without bound in the positive direction?

Solution

(a) The probability that a car will arrive within 5 minutes is found by evaluating F1t2 at t = 5. F152 = 1 - e -0.2152 ≈ 0.63212 c

Use a calculator.

There is a 63% probability that a car will arrive within 5 minutes. (b) The probability that a car will arrive within 30 minutes is found by evaluating F1t2 at t = 30. F1302 = 1 - e -0.21302 ≈ 0.9975 c

Use a calculator.

There is a 99.75% probability that a car will arrive within 30 minutes. 1

(c) See Figure 29 for the graph of F.

0 0

(d) As time passes, the probability that a car will arrive increases. The value that F 1 approaches can be found by letting t S q . Since e -0.2t = 0.2t , it follows that e e -0.2t S 0 as t S q . Therefore, F1t2 = 1 - e -0.2t S 1 as t S q . The algebraic analysis is supported by Figure 29.

Recall that a one-to-one function y = f1x2 has an inverse function that is defined implicitly by the equation x = f 1y2. In particular, the exponential function y = f1x2 = ax, where a 7 0 and a ≠ 1, is one-to-one, so it has an inverse function that is defined implicitly by the equation x = ay a 7 0 a ≠ 1 This inverse function is so important that it is given a name, the logarithmic function. DEFINITION  Logarithmic Function with Base a The logarithmic function with base a, where a 7 0 and a ≠ 1, is denoted by y = log a x (read as “ y is the logarithm with base a of x”) and is defined by y = log a x if and only if x = ay

In Words

When you need to evaluate loga x, think to yourself “a raised to what power gives me x?”

E XAM PLE 1

The domain of the logarithmic function y = log a x is x 7 0. As this definition illustrates, a logarithm is a name for a certain exponent. So log a x equals the exponent to which a must be raised to obtain x.

Relating Logarithms to Exponents (a) If y = log 3 x, then x = 3y. For example, the logarithmic statement 4 = log 3 81 is equivalent to the exponential statement 81 = 34. 1 1 (b) If y = log 5 x, then x = 5y. For example, - 1 = log 5 a b is equivalent to = 5-1. 5 5

3 Determine the Domain of a Logarithmic Function The logarithmic function y = log a x has been defined as the inverse of the exponential function y = ax. That is, if f1x2 = ax, then f -1 1x2 = log a x. Based on the discussion in Section 5.2 on inverse functions, for a function f and its inverse f -1, Domain of f -1 = Range of f and Range of f -1 = Domain of f

Consequently, it follows that • Domain of the logarithmic function = Range of the exponential function = 10, q 2 • Range of the logarithmic function = Domain of the exponential function = 1 - q , q 2 The next box summarizes some properties of the logarithmic function. y = log a x if and only if x = ay Domain: 0 6 x 6 q Range:

-q 6 y 6 q

The domain of a logarithmic function consists of the positive real numbers, so the argument of a logarithmic function must be greater than zero.

If the base of a logarithmic function is the number e, the result is the natural logarithm function. This function occurs so frequently in applications that it is given a special symbol, ln (from the Latin, logarithmus naturalis). That is,

Alcohol and Driving Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is a measure of the amount of alcohol in a person’s bloodstream. A BAC of 0.04% means that a person has 4 parts alcohol per 10,000 parts blood in the body. Relative risk is defined as the likelihood of one event occurring divided by the likelihood of a second event occurring. For example, if an individual with a BAC of 0.02% is 1.4 times as likely to have a car accident as an individual who has not been drinking, the relative risk of an accident with a BAC of 0.02% is 1.4. Recent medical research suggests that the relative risk R of having an accident while driving a car can be modeled by an equation of the form R = e kx where x is the percent concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream and k is a constant. (a) Research indicates that the relative risk of a person having an accident with a BAC of 0.02% is 1.4. Find the constant k in the equation. (b) Using this value of k, what is the relative risk if the BAC is 0.17%? (c) Using this same value of k, what BAC corresponds to a relative risk of 100? (d) If the law asserts that anyone with a relative risk of 4 or more should not have driving privileges, at what concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream should a driver be arrested and charged with DUI (driving under the influence)?

Solution

(a) For a blood alcohol concentration of 0.02% and a relative risk R of 1.4, let x = 0.02 and solve for k. R = e kx 1.4 = e k10.022

R = 1.4; x = 0.02

0.02k = ln 1.4 k =

Change to a logarithmic statement.

ln 1.4 ≈ 16.82 0.02

Solve for k.

(b) A BAC of 0.17% means x = 0.17. Use k = 16.82 in the equation to find the relative risk R: R = e kx = e 116.82210.172 ≈ 17.5

For a blood alcohol concentration of 0.17%, the relative risk R of an accident is about 17.5. That is, a person with a BAC of 0.17% is 17.5 times as likely to have a car accident as a person with no alcohol in the bloodstream. (c) A relative risk of 100 means R = 100. Use k = 16.82 in the equation R = e kx. The blood alcohol concentration x obeys 100 = e 16.82x

R = ekx, R = 100, k = 16.82

16.82x = ln 100 x = NOTE  A BAC of 0.30% results in a loss j of consciousness in most people.

For a blood alcohol concentration of 0.27%, the relative risk R of an accident is 100. (d) A relative risk of 4 means R = 4. Use k = 16.82 in the equation R = e kx. The blood alcohol concentration x obeys 4 = e 16.82x 16.82x = ln 4 x =

The Richter Scale  Problems 133 and 134 use the following discussion: The Richter scale is one way of converting seismographic readings into numbers that provide an easy reference for measuring the magnitude M of an earthquake. All earthquakes are compared to a zero-level earthquake whose seismographic reading measures 0.001 millimeter at a distance of 100 kilometers from the epicenter. An earthquake whose seismographic reading measures x millimeters has magnitude M 1x2, given by M 1x2 = log¢

(e) Compare this situation with that of Example 10. If you were a lawmaker, which situation would you support? Give your reasons.

136. The Marriage Problem There is an infamous problem from mathematics that attempts to quantify the number of potential mates one should date before choosing one’s “true love.” The function L 1x2 = - x ln x

represents the probability of finding the ideal mate after rejecting the first x proportion of potential mates. For example, if you reject the first 20, = 0.20 of individuals you date, the probability of finding the ideal mate is L 10.22 ≈ 0.322. So, if you want the probability of finding the ideal mate to be greater than 0.332 and you are only willing to date up to 20 individuals, you should reject the first 0.21202 = 4 individuals before attempting to decide on the ideal mate. Presumably, you are using those first 4 individuals to help you decide which traits you value in a mate. (a) Determine and interpret L 10.12. (b) Determine and interpret L 10.62. (c) What is the domain of L? (d) Graph L = L 1x2 over the domain. (e) Judging on the basis of the approach suggested by the model, what is the value of x that maximizes L?

THEOREM  Properties of Logarithms In these properties, M and a are positive real numbers, a ≠ 1, and r is any real number. • The number log a M is the exponent to which a must be raised to obtain M. That is, aloga M = M (1)



• The logarithm with base a of a raised to a power equals that power. That is, log a ar = r (2)



The proof uses the fact that y = ax and y = log a x are inverse functions. Proof of Property (1)  For inverse functions, f1f -1 1x2 2 = x for all x in the domain of f -1

Use f1x2 = ax and f -1 1x2 = log a x to find

Two other important properties of logarithms are consequences of the fact that the logarithmic function y = log a x is a one-to-one function.

Property (7) is used as follows: Starting with the equation M = N, “take the logarithm of both sides” to obtain log a M = log a N. Properties (7) and (8) are useful for solving exponential and logarithmic equations, a topic discussed in the next section.

4 Evaluate Logarithms Whose Base Is Neither 10 Nor e Logarithms with base 10—common logarithms—were used to facilitate arithmetic computations before the widespread use of calculators. (See the Historical Feature at the end of this section.) Natural logarithms—that is, logarithms whose base is the number e—remain very important because they arise frequently in the study of natural phenomena. Common logarithms are usually abbreviated by writing log, with the base understood to be 10, just as natural logarithms are abbreviated by ln, with the base understood to be e. Most calculators have both log and ln keys to calculate the common logarithm and the natural logarithm of a number, respectively. Let’s look at an example to see how to approximate logarithms having a base other than 10 or e.

Solution

Remember, evaluating log 2 7 means answering the question “2 raised to what exponent equals 7?” Let y = log 2 7. Then 2 y = 7. Because 2 2 = 4 and 2 3 = 8, the value of log 2 7 is between 2 and 3. 2y = 7 ln 2 y = ln 7 y ln 2 = ln 7 ln 7 y = ln 2 y ≈ 2.8074

Example 7 shows how to approximate a logarithm whose base is 2 by changing to logarithms involving the base e. In general, the Change-of-Base Formula is used. THEOREM  Change-of-Base Formula If a ≠ 1, b ≠ 1, and M are positive real numbers, then

Historical Feature

ogarithms were invented about 1590 by John Napier (1550–1617) and Joost Bürgi (1552–1632), working independently. Napier, whose work had the greater influence, was a Scottish lord, a secretive man whose neighbors were inclined to believe him to be in league with the devil. His approach to logarithms was very different from ours; it was based on the relationship between arithmetic and geometric sequences, discussed in a later chapter, and not on the inverse function relationship of logarithms to exponential

functions (described in Section 5.4). Napier’s tables, published in 1614, listed what would now be called natural logarithms of sines and were rather difficult to use. A London professor, Henry Briggs, became interested in the tables and visited Napier. In their conversations, they developed the idea of common logarithms, which were published in 1617. The importance of this tool for calculation was immediately recognized, and by 1650 common logarithms were being printed as far away as China. They remained an important calculation tool until the advent of inexpensive handheld calculators in about 1972, which has decreased their calculational—but not their theoretical—importance. A side effect of the invention of logarithms was the popularization of the decimal system of notation for real numbers.

For example, to solve the equation log 2 11 - 2x2 = 3, write the logarithmic equation as an equivalent exponential equation 1 - 2x = 23 and solve for x. log 2 11 - 2x2 = 3 Change to exponential form. 1 - 2x = 23 - 2x = 7

You should check this solution for yourself. For most logarithmic equations, some manipulation of the equation (usually using properties of logarithms) is required to obtain a solution. Also, to avoid extraneous solutions with logarithmic equations, determine the domain of the variable first. Let’s begin with an example of a logarithmic equation that requires using the fact that a logarithmic function is a one-to-one function:

If log a M = log a N, then M = N

Often one or more properties of logarithms are needed to rewrite the equation as a single logarithm. In the next example, the log of a product property is used.

E XAM PLE 2 Solution

Solving a Logarithmic Equation Solve: log 5 1x + 62 + log 5 1x + 22 = 1

The domain of the variable requires that x + 6 7 0 and x + 2 7 0, so x 7 - 6 and x 7 - 2. This means any solution must satisfy x 7 - 2. To obtain an exact solution, first express the left side as a single logarithm. Then change the equation to an equivalent exponential equation. log 5 1x + 62 + log 5 1x + 22 = 1 log 5 3 1x + 62 1x + 22 4 = 1

WARNING A negative solution is not automatically extraneous. You must determine whether the potential solution causes the argument of any logarithmic expression in the equation to be negative or 0.  j

CHAPTER 5   Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

WARNING  In using properties of logarithms to solve logarithmic equations, avoid using the property loga x r = r loga x, when r is even. The reason can be seen in this example: Solve: log3 x2 = 4 Solution: The domain of the variable x is all real numbers except 0. (a)  log3 x2 = 4 (b)  log3 x2 = 4 2

Change to exponential form.

x = - 9 or x = 9

loga x r = r loga x Domain of variable is x + 0.

log3 x = 2 x = 9 2

Both - 9 and 9 are solutions of log3 x = 4 (as you can verify). The solution in part (b) does not find the solution - 9 because the domain of the variable was further restricted due to the application of the property loga x r = r loga x.  j

2 Solve Exponential Equations In Sections 5.3 and 5.4, we solved exponential equations algebraically by expressing each side of the equation using the same base. That is, we used the one-to-one ­property of the exponential function: If au = av, then u = v

a 7 0 a ≠ 1

For example, to solve the exponential equation 42x + 1 = 16, notice that 16 = 42 and use 1 the one-to-one property to obtain the equation 2x + 1 = 2, from which we find x = . 2 Not all exponential equations can be expressed so that each side of the equation has the same base. For such equations, other techniques often can be used to obtain exact solutions.

5.7  Financial Models PREPARING FOR THIS SECTION  Before getting started, review the following: • Simple Interest (Section A.8, pp. A63–A64) Now Work the ‘Are You Prepared?’ problems on page 331.

OBJECTIVES 1  Determine the Future Value of a Lump Sum of Money (p. 325)



2  Calculate Effective Rates of Return (p. 328) 3  Determine the Present Value of a Lump Sum of Money (p. 329) 4  Determine the Rate of Interest or the Time Required to Double a Lump Sum of Money (p. 330)

1 Determine the Future Value of a Lump Sum of Money Interest is money paid for the use of money. The total amount borrowed (whether by an individual from a bank in the form of a loan or by a bank from an individual in the form of a savings account) is called the principal. The rate of interest, expressed as a percent, is the amount charged for the use of the principal for a given period of time, usually on a yearly (that is, per annum) basis. THEOREM  Simple Interest Formula If a principal of P dollars is borrowed for a period of t years at a per annum interest rate r, expressed as a decimal, the interest I charged is

I = Prt (1)

Interest charged according to formula (1) is called simple interest. In problems involving interest, the term payment period is defined as follows. Once per year Monthly: 12 times per year Annually: Semiannually: Twice per year Daily: 365 times per year* Quarterly: Four times per year When the interest due at the end of a payment period is added to the principal so that the interest computed at the end of the next payment period is based on this new principal amount 1old principal + interest2, the interest is said to have been compounded. Compound interest is interest paid on the principal and on previously earned interest.

E XAM PLE 1

Computing Compound Interest A credit union pays interest of 2% per annum compounded quarterly on a certain savings plan. If $1000 is deposited in the plan and the interest is left to accumulate, how much is in the account after 1 year?

Solution

Use the simple interest formula, I = Prt. The principal P is $1000 and the rate of 1 interest is 2, = 0.02. After the first quarter of a year, the time t is year, so the 4 interest earned is I = Prt = +1000 # 0.02 #

1 = +5 4

CHAPTER 5   Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

The new principal is P + I = $1000 + $5 = $1005. At the end of the second quarter, the interest on this principal is 1 I = $1005 # 0.02 # = $5.03 4 At the end of the third quarter, the interest on the new principal of $1005 + $5.03 = $1010.03 is 1 I = $1010.03 # 0.02 # = $5.05 4 Finally, after the fourth quarter, the interest is I = $1015.08 # 0.02 #

1 = $5.08 4 After 1 year the account contains $1015.08 + $5.08 = $1020.16. The pattern of the calculations performed in Example 1 leads to a general formula for compound interest. For this purpose, let P represent the principal to be invested at a per annum interest rate r that is compounded n times per year, so the time of each 1 compounding period is year. (For computing purposes, r is expressed as a decimal.) n The interest earned after each compounding period is given by formula (1). 1 r Interest = principal # rate # time = P # r # = P # n n The amount A after one compounding period is r r A = P + P # = P # a1 + b n n

After two compounding periods, the amount A, based on the new principal r P # a1 + b , is n New principal

Continuing this way, after n compounding periods (1 year), the amount A is A = P # a1 +

r n b n

A = P # a1 +

Because t years will contain n # t compounding periods, the amount after t years is

THEOREM  Compound Interest Formula The amount A after t years due to a principal P invested at an annual interest rate r, expressed as a decimal, compounded n times per year is

A = P # a1 +

(2)

In equation (2), the amount A is typically referred to as the accumulated value of the account, and P is called the present value.

A = P # 11 + r2

Semiannual compounding 1n = 22:

A = P # a1 +

r 2 b 2

Quarterly compounding 1n = 42:

A = P # a1 +

r 4 b 4

Monthly compounding 1n = 122:

A = P # a1 +

r 12 b 12

Daily compounding 1n = 3652:

A = P # a1 +

r 365 b 365

0.10 12 b = $1104.71 12

= $1000 a1 +

0.10 365 b = $1105.16 365

From Example 2, note that the effect of compounding more frequently is that the amount after 1 year is higher. This leads to the following question: What would happen to the amount after 1 year if the number of times that the interest is compounded were increased without bound? Let’s find the answer. Suppose that P is the principal, r is the per annum interest rate, and n is the number of times that the interest is compounded each year. The amount A after 1 year is A = P # a1 +

Rewrite this expression as follows:

Now suppose that the number n of times that the interest is compounded per n year gets larger and larger; that is, suppose that n S q . Then h = S q , and the r expression in brackets in equation (3) equals e. That is, A S Pe r. r n Table 8 compares a1 + b , for large values of n, to e r for r = 0.05, r = 0.10, n r n r = 0.15, and r = 1. As n becomes larger, the closer a1 + b gets to e r.

2 Calculate Effective Rates of Return Suppose that you have $1000 to invest and a bank offers to pay you 3 percent annual interest compounded monthly. What simple interest rate is needed to earn an equal amount after one year? To answer this question, first determine the value after one year of the $1000 investment that earns 3 percent compounded monthly. A = +1000a1 + = $1030.42

0.03 12 r n b Use A = P a1 + b with P = +1000, r = 0.03, n = 12. 12 n

So the interest earned is $30.42. Using I = Prt with t = 1, I = +30.42, and P = $1000, the annual simple interest rate is 0.03042 = 3.042,. This interest rate is known as the effective rate of interest.

The effective rate of interest is the annual simple interest rate that would yield the same amount as compounding n times per year, or continuously, after one year. THEOREM  Effective Rate of Interest The effective rate of interest rE of an investment earning an annual interest rate r is given by r n • Compounding n times per year: rE = a1 + b - 1 n • Continuous compounding: rE = e r - 1

Computing the Effective Rate of Interest—Which Is the Best Deal? Suppose you want to buy a 5-year certificate of deposit (CD). You visit three banks to determine their CD rates. American Express offers you 2.15% annual interest compounded monthly, and First Internet Bank offers you 2.20% compounded quarterly. Discover offers 2.12% compounded daily. Determine which bank is offering the best deal.

Solution

The bank that offers the best deal is the one with the highest effective interest rate. American Express 0.0215 b 12 ≈ 1.02171 - 1

rE = a1 +

First Internet Bank 12

Discover 0.0212 365 b - 1 365 ≈ 1.02143 - 1

rE = a1 +

= 0.02171

= 0.02218

= 0.02143

= 2.171,

= 2.218,

= 2.143,

The effective rate of interest is highest for First Internet Bank, so First Internet Bank is offering the best deal. Now Work   p r o b l e m 2 3

3 Determine the Present Value of a Lump Sum of Money When people in finance speak of the “time value of money,” they are usually referring to the present value of money. The present value of A dollars to be received at a future date is the principal that you would need to invest now so that it will grow to A dollars in the specified time period. The present value of money to be received at a future date is always less than the amount to be received, since the amount to be received will equal the present value (money invested now) plus the interest accrued over the time period. The compound interest formula (2) is used to develop a formula for present value. If P is the present value of A dollars to be received after t years at a per annum interest rate r compounded n times per year, then, by formula (2), A = P # a1 + To solve for P, divide both sides by a1 + A

Solution

(a) To find the present value of $1000, use formula (5) with A = $1000, n = 12, r = 0.08, and t = 10. P = A # a1 +

r -nt 0.08 -12 = $1000 a1 + b b n 12

Determining the Rate of Interest Required to Double an Investment What rate of interest compounded annually is needed in order to double an ­investment in 5 years?

Solution

If P is the principal and P is to double, then the amount A will be 2P. Use the compound interest formula with n = 1 and t = 5 to find r. A = P # a1 +

r nt b n

2P = P # 11 + r2 5 2 = 11 + r2 5 5

Here A0 is the original amount 1t = 02 and k ≠ 0 is a constant. If k 7 0, then equation (1) states that the amount A is increasing over time; A0 if k 6 0, the amount A is decreasing over time. In either case, when an amount A varies over time according to equation (1), it is said to follow the exponential law, or the law of uninhibited growth 1k 7 02 or decay 1k 6 02. See Figure 41. For example, in Section 5.7, continuously compounded interest was shown to follow the law of uninhibited growth. In this section we shall look at some additional phenomena that follow the exponential law. t Cell division is the growth process of many living organisms, such as amoebas, plants, and human skin cells. Based on an ideal situation in which no cells die and no (b) A(t ) 5 A0 e ktby-products ,k,0 are produced, the number of cells present at a given time follows the law of uninhibited growth. Actually, however, after enough time has passed, growth at an exponential rate will cease as a consequence of factors such as lack of living space and dwindling food supply. The law of uninhibited growth accurately models only the early stages of the cell division process. The cell division process begins with a culture containing N0 cells. Each cell in the culture grows for a certain period of time and then divides into two identical cells. Assume that the time needed for each cell to divide in two is constant and does not change as the number of cells increases. These new cells then grow, and eventually each divides in two, and so on.

where N0 is the initial number of cells and k is a positive constant that represents the growth rate of the cells.

Using formula (2) to model the growth of cells employs a function that yields positive real numbers, even though the number of cells being counted must be an integer. This is a common practice in many applications.

Bacterial Growth A colony of bacteria that grows according to the law of uninhibited growth is modeled by the function N 1t2 = 100e 0.045t, where N is measured in grams and t is measured in days.

(a) Determine the initial amount of bacteria. (b) What is the growth rate of the bacteria? (c) What is the population after 5 days? (d) How long will it take for the population to reach 140 grams? (e) What is the doubling time for the population?

Solution

(a) The initial amount of bacteria, N0, is obtained when t = 0, so

#

N0 = N 102 = 100e 0.045 0 = 100 grams

(b) Compare N 1t2 = 100e 0.045t to N 1t2 = N0 e kt. The value of k, 0.045, indicates a growth rate of 4.5%. # (c) The population after 5 days is N 152 = 100e 0.045 5 ≈ 125.2 grams. (d) To find how long it takes for the population to reach 140 grams, solve the equation N 1t2 = 140. 100e 0.045t = 140 e 0.045t = 1.4 0.045t = ln 1.4 ln 1.4 t = 0.045 ≈ 7.5 days

Divide both sides of the equation by 100. Rewrite as a logarithm. Divide both sides of the equation by 0.045.

The population reaches 140 grams in about 7.5 days. (e) The population doubles when N 1t2 = 200 grams, so the doubling time is found by solving the equation 200 = 100e 0.045t for t. 200 = 100e 0.045t 2 = e 0.045t ln 2 = 0.045t ln 2 t = 0.045 ≈ 15.4 days

Divide both sides of the equation by 100. Rewrite as a logarithm. Divide both sides of the equation by 0.045.

The population doubles approximately every 15.4 days. Now Work   p r o b l e m 1

Bacterial Growth A colony of bacteria increases according to the law of uninhibited growth. (a) If N is the number of cells and t is the time in hours, express N as a function of t. (b) If the number of bacteria doubles in 3 hours, find the function that gives the number of cells in the culture. (c) How long will it take for the size of the colony to triple? (d) How long will it take for the population to double a second time (that is, to increase four times)?

Solution

(a) Using formula (2), the number N of cells at time t is N 1t2 = N0 e kt

where N0 is the initial number of bacteria present and k is a positive number.

SECTION 5.8  Exponential Growth and Decay Models; Newton’s Law; Logistic Growth and Decay Models  

337

(b) To find the growth rate k, note that the number of cells doubles in 3 hours, so k#3

Since N 132 = N0 e ,

#

N 132 = 2N0

N0 e k 3 = 2N0 e 3k = 2 3k = ln 2 1 k = ln 2 ≈ 0.23105 3

Divide both sides by N0. Write the exponential equation as a logarithm.

The function that models this growth process is therefore N 1t2 = N0 e 0.23105t

(c) The time t needed for the size of the colony to triple requires that N = 3N0. Substitute 3N0 for N to get 3N0 = N0 e 0.23105t 3 = e 0.23105t 0.23105t = ln 3 ln 3 t = ≈ 4.755 hours 0.23105 It will take about 4.755 hours, or 4 hours and 45 minutes, for the size of the colony to triple. (d) If a population doubles in 3 hours, it will double a second time in 3 more hours, for a total time of 6 hours.

Model Populations That Obey the Law of Uninhibited Decay Radioactive materials follow the law of uninhibited decay. Uninhibited Radioactive Decay The amount A of a radioactive material present at time t is given by

A 1t2 = A0 e kt

k 6 0(3)

where A0 is the original amount of radioactive material and k is a negative number that represents the rate of decay. All radioactive substances have a specific half-life, which is the time required for half of the radioactive substance to decay. Carbon dating uses the fact that all living organisms contain two kinds of carbon, carbon-12 (a stable carbon) and carbon-14 (a radioactive carbon with a half-life of 5730 years). While an organism is living, the ratio of carbon-12 to carbon-14 is constant. But when an organism dies, the original amount of carbon-12 present remains unchanged, whereas the amount of carbon-14 begins to decrease. This change in the amount of carbon-14 present relative to the amount of carbon-12 present makes it possible to calculate when the organism died.

E XAM PLE 3

Estimating the Age of Ancient Tools Traces of burned wood along with ancient stone tools in an archeological dig in Chile were found to contain approximately 1.67% of the original amount of carbon-14. If the half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years, approximately when was the tree cut and burned?

338 

CHAPTER 5   Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

Solution

Using formula (3), the amount A of carbon-14 present at time t is A 1t2 = A0 e kt

where A0 is the original amount of carbon-14 present and k is a negative number. We first seek the number k. To find it, we use the fact that after 5730 years, half of the 1 original amount of carbon-14 remains, so A 157302 = A0. Then 2 1 # A0 = A0 e k 5730 2 1 = e 5730k Divide both sides of the equation by A0. 2 1 Rewrite as a logarithm. 5730k = ln 2 1 1 k = ln ≈ - 0.000120968 5730 2 Formula (3) therefore becomes A 1t2 = A0 e -0.000120968t

If the amount A of carbon-14 now present is 1.67% of the original amount, it follows that 0.0167A0 = A0 e -0.000120968t 0.0167 = e -0.000120968t Divide both sides of the equation by A0. - 0.000120968t = ln 0.0167 Rewrite as a logarithm. ln 0.0167 t = ≈ 33,830 years - 0.000120968 The tree was cut and burned about 33,830 years ago. Some archeologists use this conclusion to argue that humans lived in the Americas nearly 34,000 years ago, much earlier than is generally accepted. Now Work   p r o b l e m 3

3 Use Newton’s Law of Cooling Newton’s Law of Cooling* states that the temperature of a heated object decreases exponentially over time toward the temperature of the surrounding medium. Newton’s Law of Cooling The temperature u of a heated object at a given time t can be modeled by the following function:

u 1t2 = T + 1u 0 - T2e kt

k 6 0(4)

where T is the constant temperature of the surrounding medium, u 0 is the initial temperature of the heated object, and k is a negative constant.

Using Newton’s Law of Cooling An object is heated to 100°C (degrees Celsius) and is then allowed to cool in a room whose air temperature is 30°C. (a) If the temperature of the object is 80°C after 5 minutes, when will its temperature be 50°C? (b) Determine the elapsed time before the temperature of the object is 35°C. (c) What do you notice about the temperature as time passes? *Named after Sir Isaac Newton 11643917272, one of the cofounders of calculus.

SECTION 5.8  Exponential Growth and Decay Models; Newton’s Law; Logistic Growth and Decay Models  

Solution

339

(a) Using formula (4) with T = 30 and u 0 = 100, the temperature u(t) (in degrees Celsius) of the object at time t (in minutes) is

u 1t2 = 30 + 1100 - 302e kt = 30 + 70e kt (5)

where k is a negative constant. To find k, use the fact that u = 80 when t = 5. Then u 1t2 = 30 + 70e kt # 80 = 30 + 70e k 5 50 = 70e 5k 50 e 5k = 70 5 5k = ln 7 1 5 k = ln ≈ - 0.0673 5 7

u15 2 = 80 Simplify.

Solve for e5k. Rewrite as a logarithm. Solve for k.

Formula (5) therefore becomes

u 1t2 = 30 + 70e -0.0673t (6)

To find t when u = 50°C, solve the equation 50 = 30 + 70e -0.0673t 20 = 70e -0.0673t 20 e -0.0673t = 70 2 - 0.0673t = ln 7 2 ln 7 t = ≈ 18.6 minutes - 0.0673

Simplify.

Rewrite as a logarithm.

Solve for t.

The temperature of the object will be 50°C after about 18.6 minutes, or 18 minutes, 36 seconds. (b) Use equation (6) to find t when u = 35°C. 35 = 30 + 70e -0.0673t 5 = 70e -0.0673t 5 e -0.0673t = 70 5 - 0.0673t = ln 70 5 ln 70 t = ≈ 39.2 minutes - 0.0673

Simplify.

Rewrite as a logarithm.

Solve for t.

The object will reach a temperature of 35°C after about 39.2 minutes. (c) Look at equation (6). As t increases, the exponent - 0.0673t becomes unbounded in the negative direction. As a result, the value of e -0.0673t approaches zero, so the value of u, the temperature of the object, approaches 30°C, the air temperature of the room. Now Work   p r o b l e m 1 3

CHAPTER 5   Exponential and Logarithmic Functions

4 Use Logistic Models The exponential growth model A 1t2 = A0 e kt, k 7 0, assumes uninhibited growth, meaning that the value of the function grows without limit. Recall that cell division could be modeled using this function, assuming that no cells die and no by-products are produced. However, cell division eventually is limited by factors such as living space and food supply. The logistic model, given next, can describe situations where the growth or decay of the dependent variable is limited. Logistic Model In a logistic model, the population P after time t is given by the function

P1t2 =

c (7) 1 + ae -bt

where a, b, and c are constants with a 7 0 and c 7 0. The model is a growth model if b 7 0; the model is a decay model if b 6 0. The number c is called the carrying capacity (for growth models) because the value P1t2 approaches c as t approaches infinity; that is, lim P1t2 = c. The t Sq

number 0 b 0 is the growth rate for b 7 0 and the decay rate for b 6 0. Figure 42(a) shows the graph of a typical logistic growth function, and Figure 42(b) shows the graph of a typical logistic decay function. P(t )

(e) Use a graphing utility to determine how long it takes for the population to reach one-half of the carrying capacity.

Solution

230 . The carrying capacity of the half-pint 1 bottle is 230 fruit flies. The growth rate is 0 b 0 = 0 0.37 0 = 37, per day. (b) To find the initial number of fruit flies in the half-pint bottle, evaluate P102. (a) As t S q , e -0.37t S 0 and P1t2 S

P102 =

So, initially, there were 4 fruit flies in the half-pint bottle. (c) After 5 days the number of fruit flies in the half-pint bottle is P152 =

230 # ≈ 23 fruit flies 1 + 56.5e -0.37 5

After 5 days, there are approximately 23 fruit flies in the bottle. (d) To determine when the population of fruit flies will be 180, solve the equation P1t2 = 180 230 = 180 1 + 56.5e -0.37t

Wood Products The EFISCEN wood product model classifies wood products according to their life-span. There are four classifications: short (1 year), medium short (4 years), medium long (16 years), and long (50 years). Based on data obtained from the European Forest Institute, the percentage of remaining wood products after t years for wood products with long life spans (such as those used in the building industry) is given by P1t2 =

100.3952 1 + 0.0316e 0.0581t

(a) What is the decay rate? (b) What is the percentage of remaining wood products after 10 years? (c) How long does it take for the percentage of remaining wood products to reach 50%? (d) Explain why the numerator given in the model is reasonable.

Solution

(a) The decay rate is 0 b 0 = 0 - 0.0581 0 = 5.81, per year. (b) Evaluate P1102 . P1102 =

100.3952 # ≈ 95.0 1 + 0.0316e 0.0581 10

So 95% of long-life-span wood products remain after 10 years. (c) Solve the equation P1t2 = 50. 100.3952 1 + 0.0316e 0.0581t 100.3952 2.0079 1.0079 31.8956 ln 131.89562 t

Divide both sides by 50. Subtract 1 from both sides. Divide both sides by 0.0316. Rewrite as a logarithmic expression. Divide both sides by 0.0581.

It will take approximately 59.6 years for the percentage of long-life-span wood products remaining to reach 50%. (d) The numerator of 100.3952 is reasonable because the maximum percentage of wood products remaining that is possible is 100%.

Problems 29 and 30 use the following discussion: Uninhibited growth can be modeled by exponential functions other than A1t2 = A0e kt. For example, if an initial population P0 requires n units of time to double, then the function P 1t2 = P0 # 2t>n models the size of the population at time t. Likewise, a population requiring n units of time to triple can be modeled by P 1t2 = P0 # 3t>n.

OBJECTIVES 1  Build an Exponential Model from Data (p. 346)



2  Build a Logarithmic Model from Data (p. 348) 3  Build a Logistic Model from Data (p. 348)

In Section 3.2 we discussed how to find the linear function of best fit 1y = ax + b2, in Section 3.4 we discussed how to find the quadratic function of best fit 1y = ax2 + bx + c2, and in Section 4.2 we discussed how to find the cubic function of best fit 1y = ax3 + bx2 + cx + d2. In this section we discuss how to use a graphing utility to find equations of best fit that describe the relation between two variables when the relation is thought to be c ≤. exponential 1y = abx 2, logarithmic 1y = a + b ln x2, or logistic ¢ y = 1 + ae -bx As before, we draw a scatter plot of the data to help to determine the appropriate model to use. Figure 44 shows scatter plots that are typically observed for the three models. y

Most graphing utilities have REGression options that fit data to a specific type of curve. Once the data have been entered and a scatter plot obtained, the type of curve that you want to fit to the data is selected. Then that REGression option is used to obtain the curve of best fit of the type selected. The correlation coefficient r will appear only if the model can be written as a linear expression. As it turns out, r will appear for the linear, power, exponential, and logarithmic models, since these models can be written as a linear expression. Remember, the closer 0 r 0 is to 1, the better the fit.

(e) Using the solution to part (b) or (c), predict the value of the account after 10 years. (f) Interpret the value of k found in part (c). (a) Enter the data into the graphing utility and draw the scatter plot as shown in Figure 45 on a TI-84 Plus C. (b) A graphing utility fits the data in Table 9 to an exponential model of the form y = abx using the EXPonential REGression option. Figure 46 shows that y = abx = 19,820.4311.0855682 x on a TI-84 Plus C. Notice that 0 r 0 = 0.999, which is close to 1, indicating a good fit. (c) To express y = abx in the form A = A0 e kt, where x = t and y = A, proceed as follows: abx = A0 e kt If x = t = 0, then a = A0. This leads to bx = e kt bx = 1e k 2 t b = ek

x = t

Because y = abx = 19,820.4311.0855682 x, this means that a = 19,820.43 and b = 1.085568. a = A0 = 19,820.43 and b = e k = 1.085568 To find k, rewrite e k = 1.085568 as a logarithm to obtain Figure 46 Exponential model

k = ln 11.0855682 ≈ 0.08210

3 Build a Logistic Model from Data Logistic growth models can be used to model situations for which the value of the dependent variable is limited. Many real-world situations conform to this scenario. For example, the population of the human race is limited by the availability of natural resources, such as food and shelter. When the value of the dependent variable is limited, a logistic growth model is often appropriate.

Online, the value of the car can be found by selecting Price New/Used. Enter the year, make, and model of the new or used car you are selecting. To be consistent, assume the cars will be driven 12,000 miles per year, so a 1-year-old car will have 12,000 miles, a 2-year-old car will have 24,000 miles, and so on. Choose the same options for each year, and select Buy from a Private Party when choosing a price type. Finally, determine the suggested retail price for cars that are in Excellent, Good, and Fair shape.

Trigonometric Functions Length of Day Revisited The length of a day depends on the day of the year as well as on the latitude of the location. Latitude gives the location of a point on Earth north or south of the equator. In Chapter 4 we found a model that describes the relation between the length of day and latitude for a specific day of the year. In the Internet Project at the end of this chapter, we will find a model that describes the relation between the length of day and day of the year for a specific latitude. —See the Internet-based Chapter Project I—

A Look Back

Outline

In Chapter 2, we began our discussion of functions. We defined domain and range and independent and dependent variables; we found the value of a function and graphed functions. We continued our study of functions by listing properties of functions, such as being even or odd, and we created a library of functions, naming key functions and listing their properties, including the graph. In Chapter 5, we introduced exponential and logarithmic functions, which we classified as transcendental functions.

6.1

A Look Ahead

6.4

In this chapter, we continue to study transcendental functions by defining the trigonometric functions, six functions that have wide application. We find their domain and range, evaluate them, graph them, and develop a list of their properties. There are two widely accepted approaches to the development of the trigonometric functions: one uses right triangles; the other uses circles, especially the unit circle. In this text, we develop the trigonometric functions using the unit circle. In Chapter 8, we present right triangle trigonometry.

Angles and Degree Measure V

Ray

Line

Figure 1  A ray or half-line

A ray, or half-line, is a portion of a line that starts at a point V on the line and extends indefinitely in one direction. The starting point V of a ray is called its vertex. See Figure 1. When two rays are drawn with a common vertex, they form an angle. We call one ray of an angle the initial side and the other the terminal side. The angle formed is identified by showing the direction and amount of rotation from the initial side to the terminal side. If the rotation is in the counterclockwise direction, the angle is positive; if the rotation is clockwise, the angle is negative. See Figure 2. de l si ina m r Te a Vertex Initial side

(c) Counterclockwise rotation; Positive angle

Lowercase Greek letters, such as a (alpha), b (beta), g (gamma), and u (theta), are often used to denote angles. Notice in Figure 2(a) that the angle a is positive because the direction of the rotation from the initial side to the terminal side is counterclockwise. The angle b in Figure 2(b) is negative because the rotation is clockwise. The angle g in Figure 2(c) is positive. Notice that the angle a in Figure 2(a) and the angle g in Figure 2(c) have the same initial side and the same terminal side. However, a and g are unequal, because the amount of rotation required to go from the initial side to the terminal side is greater for angle g than for angle a. An angle u is said to be in standard position if its vertex is at the origin of a rectangular coordinate system and its initial side coincides with the positive x-axis. See Figure 3. y

When an angle u is in standard position, either the terminal side will lie in a quadrant, in which case we say that u lies in that quadrant, or the terminal side will lie on the x-axis or the y-axis, in which case we say that u is a quadrantal angle. For example, the angle u in Figure 4(a) lies in quadrant II, the angle u in Figure 4(b) lies in quadrant IV, and the angle u in Figure 4(c) is a quadrantal angle. II

Angles are measured by determining the amount of rotation needed for the initial side to coincide with the terminal side. The two commonly used measures for angles are degrees and radians.

Degree Measure HISTORICAL NOTE  One counterclockwise rotation was said to measure 360° because the Babylonian year had 360 days.

j

The angle formed by rotating the initial side exactly once in the counterclockwise direction until it coincides with itself (1 revolution) is said to measure 360 degrees, 1 abbreviated 360°. One degree, 1°, is revolution. A right angle is an angle that 360 1 measures 90°, or revolution; a straight angle is an angle that measures 180°, 4 1 or revolution. See Figure 5. As Figure 5(b) shows, it is customary to indicate a right 2 angle by using the symbol . Terminal side

Convert between Decimal and Degree, Minute, Second Measures for Angles Although subdivisions of a degree may be obtained by using decimals, the notion of minutes and seconds may also be used. One minute, denoted by 1′, 1 1 is defined as degree. One second, denoted by 1″, is defined as minute or, 60 60 1 equivalently, degree. An angle of, say, 30 degrees, 40 minutes, 10 seconds is 3600 written compactly as 30°40′10″. To summarize: 1 counterclockwise revolution = 360° 1° = 60′ 1′ = 60″

In many applications, such as describing the exact location of a star or the precise position of a ship at sea, angles measured in degrees, minutes, and even seconds are used. For calculation purposes, these are transformed to decimal form. In other applications, especially those in calculus, angles are measured using radians.

Radian Measure A central angle is a positive angle whose vertex is at the center of a circle. The rays of a central angle subtend (intersect) an arc on the circle. If the radius of the circle is r

and the length of the arc subtended by the central angle is also r, then the measure of the angle is 1 radian. See Figure 10(a). For a circle of radius 1, the rays of a central angle with measure 1 radian subtend an arc of length 1. For a circle of radius 3, the rays of a central angle with measure 1 radian subtend an arc of length 3. See Figure 10(b).

Now consider a circle of radius r and two central angles, u and u1, measured in radians. Suppose that these central angles subtend arcs of lengths s and s1, respectively, as shown in Figure 11. From geometry, the ratio of the measures of the angles equals the ratio of the corresponding lengths of the arcs subtended by these angles; that is, u s = (2) s1 u1

u s = u1 s1

Suppose that u1 = 1 radian. Refer again to Figure 10(a). The length s1 of the arc subtended by the central angle u1 = 1 radian equals the radius r of the circle. Then s1 = r, so equation (2) reduces to u s = r 1



or s = ru(3)

THEOREM  Arc Length For a circle of radius r, a central angle of u radians subtends an arc whose length s is

s = ru (4)

NOTE  Formulas must be consistent with the units used. In formula (4), we write s = ru To see the units, use equation (3) and write s length units u radians = 1 radian r length units s length units = r length units

u radians 1 radian

The radians cancel, leaving s length units = 1r length units2u  s = r U

where u appears to be “dimensionless” but, in fact, is measured in radians. So, in the formula s = r u, the dimension for u is radians, and any convenient unit of length (such as inches or meters) can be used for s and r. j

Finding the Length of an Arc of a Circle Find the length of the arc of a circle of radius 2 meters subtended by a central angle of 0.25 radian.

4 Convert from Degrees to Radians and from Radians to Degrees s = 2pr 1 revolution r

With two ways to measure angles, it is important to be able to convert from one measure to the other. Consider a circle of radius r. A central angle of 1 revolution subtends an arc equal to the circumference of the circle. See Figure 12. Because the circumference of a circle of radius r equals 2pr, substitute 2pr for s in formula (4) to find that, for an angle u of 1 revolution, s = ru 2pr = ru u = 2p radians

Figure 12  1 revolution = 2p radians

U = 1 revolution; s = 2Pr Solve for U.

From this, we have

1 revolution = 2p radians(5)

Since 1 revolution = 360°, we have 360° = 2p radians Dividing both sides by 2 yields

180° = p radians(6)

Divide both sides of equation (6) by 180. Then p 1 degree = radian 180 Divide both sides of equation (6) by p. Then 180 degrees = 1 radian p We have the following two conversion formulas:*

Field Width of a DSLR Camera Lens For small angles, the length of the arc subtended by a central angle is approximately equal to the length of the chord that is subtended. Use this fact to approximate the field width (the width of scenery the lens can image) of a 400mm camera lens at a distance of 750 feet if the viewing angle of the lens is 6°12′.

Viewing angle Field width

Distance to object

Solution

See Figure 13. The measure of the central angle is 6°12′, but remember that the angle in formula (4) must be in radians. So begin by converting the angle to radians. u = 6°12′ = 6.2° = 6.2 # c

p radian ≈ 0.108 radian 180

12′ = 0.2°

Use u = 0.108 radian and r = 750 feet in formula (4). The field width for the lens at a distance of 750 feet from the camera is approximately s = ru = 750 # 0.108 = 81 feet

NOTE  If the measure of an angle is given as 5, it is understood to mean 5 radians; if the measure of an angle is given as 5°, it means 5 degrees. j

When an angle is measured in degrees, the degree symbol is always shown. However, when an angle is measured in radians, we usually omit the word radians. p p So if the measure of an angle is given as , it is understood to mean radian. 6 6 Now Work   p r o b l e m 1 0 7

Consider a circle of radius r. Suppose that u, measured in radians, is a central angle of this circle. See Figure 14. We seek a formula for the area A of the sector (shown in blue) formed by the angle u. Consider a circle of radius r and two central angles u and u1, both measured in radians. See Figure 15. From geometry, the ratio of the measures of the angles equals the ratio of the corresponding areas of the sectors formed by these angles. That is, u A = u1 A1

6 Find the Linear Speed of an Object Traveling in Circular Motion The average speed of an object is the distance traveled divided by the elapsed time. For motion along a circle, we distinguish between linear speed and angular speed. DEFINITION  Linear Speed Suppose that an object moves on a circle of radius r at a constant speed. If s is the distance traveled in time t on this circle, then the linear speed v of the object is defined as s

Time t

s v = (9) t



u r

As this object travels on the circle, suppose that u (measured in radians) is the central angle swept out in time t. See Figure 16. s t

DEFINITION  Angular Speed The angular speed v (the Greek lowercase letter omega) of an object is the angle u (measured in radians) swept out, divided by the elapsed time t; that is,

v =

u (10) t

Angular speed is the way the turning rate of an engine is described. For example, an engine idling at 900 rpm (revolutions per minute) is one that rotates at an angular speed of 900

revolutions revolutions # radians radians = 900 2p = 1800p minute minute revolution minute

CHAPTER 6  Trigonometric Functions

s (the linear speed) has t the dimensions of length per unit of time (such as feet per second or miles per hour), r (the radius of the circular motion) has the same length dimension as s, and v (the angular speed) has the dimension of radians per unit of time. If the angular speed is given in terms of revolutions per unit of time (as is often the case), be sure to convert it to radians per unit of time, using the fact that 1 revolution = 2p radians, before using formula (11). When using formula (11), v = rv, remember that v =

The Unit Circle Recall that the unit circle is a circle whose radius is 1 and whose center is at the origin of a rectangular coordinate system. Also recall that any circle of radius r has circumference of length 2pr. Therefore, the unit circle 1radius = 12 has a circumference of length 2p. In other words, for 1 revolution around the unit circle the length of the arc is 2p units. The following discussion sets the stage for defining the trigonometric functions using the unit circle. Let t be any real number. Position the t-axis so that it is vertical with the positive direction up. Place this t-axis in the xy-plane so that t = 0 is located at the point 11, 02 in the xy-plane.

If t Ú 0, let s be the distance from the origin to t on the t-axis. See the red portion of Figure 18(a). Beginning at the point 11, 02 on the unit circle, travel s = t units in the counterclockwise direction along the circle, to arrive at the point P = 1x, y2 . In this sense, the length s = t units is being wrapped around the unit circle. If t 6 0, we begin at the point 11, 02 on the unit circle and travel s = 0 t 0 units in the clockwise direction to arrive at the point P = 1x, y2. See Figure 18(b). If t 7 2p or if t 6 - 2p, it will be necessary to travel around the unit circle more than once before arriving at the point P. Do you see why? Let’s describe this process another way. Picture a string of length s = 0 t 0 units being wrapped around a circle of radius 1 unit. Start wrapping the string around the circle at the point 11, 02. If t Ú 0, wrap the string in the counterclockwise direction; if t 6 0, wrap the string in the clockwise direction. The point P = 1x, y2 is the point where the string ends. This discussion tells us that, for any real number t, we can locate a unique point P = 1x, y2 on the unit circle. We call P the point on the unit circle that corresponds to t. This is the important idea here. No matter what real number t is chosen, there is a unique point P on the unit circle corresponding to it. The coordinates of the point P = 1x, y2 on the unit circle corresponding to the real number t are used to define the six trigonometric functions of t. DEFINITION  Trigonometric Functions of a Real Number Let t be a real number and let P = 1x, y2 be the point on the unit circle that corresponds to t. The sine function associates with t the y-coordinate of P and is denoted by sin t = y

In Words

The point P = 1x, y2 on the unit circle corresponding to a real number t is given by 1cos t, sin t2.

The cosine function associates with t the x-coordinate of P and is denoted by cos t = x If x ≠ 0, the tangent function associates with t the ratio of the y-coordinate to the x-coordinate of P and is denoted by tan t =

y x

If y ≠ 0, the cosecant function is defined as csc t =

1 y

If x ≠ 0, the secant function is defined as sec t =

1 x

If y ≠ 0, the cotangent function is defined as cot t =

x y

Notice in these definitions that if x = 0, that is, if the point P is on the y-axis, then the tangent function and the secant function are undefined. Also, if y = 0, that is, if the point P is on the x-axis, then the cosecant function and the cotangent function are undefined.

Because we use the unit circle in these definitions of the trigonometric functions, they are sometimes referred to as circular functions.

Trigonometric Functions of Angles Let P = 1x, y2 be the point on the unit circle corresponding to the real number t. See Figure 20(a). Let u be the angle in standard position, measured in radians, whose terminal side is the ray from the origin through P and whose arc length is ∙ t ∙ . See Figure 20(b). Since the unit circle has radius 1 unit, if s = ∙ t ∙ units, then from the arc length formula s = r ∙ u ∙ , we have u = t radians. See Figures 20(c) and (d).

and so on. We can now define the trigonometric functions of the angle u.

CHAPTER 6  Trigonometric Functions

DEFINITION  Trigonometric Functions of an Angle U If u = t radians, the six trigonometric functions of the angle U are defined as sin u = sin t csc u = csc t

cos u = cos t sec u = sec t

tan u = tan t cot u = cot t

Even though the trigonometric functions can be viewed both as functions of real numbers and as functions of angles, it is customary to refer to trigonometric functions of real numbers and trigonometric functions of angles collectively as the trigonometric functions. We shall follow this practice from now on. If an angle u is measured in degrees, we shall use the degree symbol when writing a trigonometric function of u, as, for example, in sin 30° and tan 45°. If an angle u is measured in radians, then no symbol is used when writing a trigonometric function p of u, as, for example, in cos p and sec . 3 Finally, since the values of the trigonometric functions of an angle u are determined by the coordinates of the point P = 1x, y2 on the unit circle corresponding to u, the units used to measure the angle u are irrelevant. For example, p it does not matter whether we write u = radians or u = 90°. The point on the 2 unit circle corresponding to this angle is P = 10, 12. As a result, sin

p p = sin 90° = 1 and cos = cos 90° = 0 2 2

Find the Exact Values of the Trigonometric Functions of Quadrantal Angles To find the exact value of a trigonometric function of an angle u or a real number t requires that we locate the point P = 1x, y2 on the unit circle that corresponds to t. This is not always easy to do. In the examples that follow, we will evaluate the trigonometric functions of certain angles or real numbers for which this process is relatively easy. A calculator will be used to evaluate the trigonometric functions of most other angles.

CHAPTER 6  Trigonometric Functions

7 Use a Circle of Radius r to Evaluate the Trigonometric Functions

Until now, finding the exact value of a trigonometric function of an angle u required that we locate the corresponding point P = 1x, y2 on the unit circle. In fact, though, any circle whose center is at the origin can be used. Let u be any nonquadrantal angle placed in standard position. Let P = 1x, y2 be the point on the circle x2 + y2 = r 2 that corresponds to u, and let P* = 1x*, y*2 be the point on the unit circle that corresponds to u. See Figure 32, where u is shown in quadrant II. Notice that the triangles OA*P* and OAP are similar; as a result, the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.

Historical Feature

T

he name sine for the sine function arose from a medieval confusion. Its origin is from the Sanskrit word jı–va (meaning “chord”), first used in India by Araybhata the Elder (ad 510). He really meant half-chord, but abbreviated it. This was brought into Arabic as jı–ba, which was meaningless. Because the proper Arabic word jaib would be written the same way (short vowels are not written out in Arabic), jı–ba was pronounced as jaib, which meant “bosom” or “hollow,” and jaib remains as the Arabic word for sine to this day. Scholars translating the Arabic works into Latin found that

the word sinus also meant “bosom” or “hollow,” and from sinus we get sine. The name tangent, due to Thomas Finck (1583), can be understood by looking at Figure 34. The line segment DC is tangent to the circle at C. If d 1O, B2 = d 1O, C2 = 1, then the length of the line segment DC is d 1D, C2 =

d 1D, C2 1

=

d 1D, C2

d 1O, C2

= tan a

SECTION 6.2  Trigonometric Functions: Unit Circle Approach 

The old name for the tangent is umbra versa (meaning turned shadow), referring to the use of the tangent in solving height problems with shadows. The names of the remaining functions came about as follows. If a and b are complementary angles, then cos a = sin b. Because b is the complement of a, it was natural to write the cosine of a as sin co a. Probably for reasons involving ease of pronunciation, the co migrated to the front, and then cosine received a three-letter abbreviation to match sin, sec, and tan. The two other cofunctions were similarly treated, except that the long forms cotan and cosec survive to this day in some countries.

For sin u and cos u, there is no concern about dividing by 0, so u can be any angle. It follows that the domain of the sine function and cosine function is the set of all real numbers.

• The domain of the sine function is the set of all real numbers. • The domain of the cosine function is the set of all real numbers. For the tangent function and secant function, the x-coordinate of P = 1x, y2 cannot be 0 since this results in division by 0. See Figure 35. On the unit circle, there are two such points, 10, 12 and 10, - 12. These two points correspond to the angles p 3p 190°2 and 1270°2 or, more generally, to any angle that is an odd integer multiple 2 2 p p 3p 5p of 190°2, such as { 1 {90°2, { 1 {270°2, { 1 {450°2, and so on.

For the cotangent function and cosecant function, the y-coordinate of P = 1x, y2 cannot be 0 since this results in division by 0. See Figure 35. On the unit circle, there are two such points, 11, 02 and 1 - 1, 02. These two points correspond to the angles 010°2 and p1180°2 or, more generally, to any angle that is an integer multiple of p1180°2, such as 010°2, {p1 {180°2, {2p1 {360°2, {3p1 {540°2, and so on. Such angles must therefore be excluded from the domain of the cotangent function and cosecant function.

• The domain of the cotangent function is the set of all real numbers, except integer multiples of p1180°2.

• The domain of the cosecant function is the set of all real numbers, except integer multiples of p1180°2.

CHAPTER 6  Trigonometric Functions

Next we determine the range of each of the six trigonometric functions. Refer again to Figure 35. Let P = 1x, y2 be the point on the unit circle that corresponds to the angle u. It follows that - 1 … x … 1 and - 1 … y … 1. Since sin u = y and cos u = x, we have - 1 … sin u … 1

- 1 … cos u … 1

The range of both the sine function and the cosine function consists of all real numbers between - 1 and 1, inclusive. Using absolute value notation, we have 0 sin u 0 … 1 and 0 cos u 0 … 1. 1 If u is not an integer multiple of p1180°2, then csc u = . Since y = sin u and y 1 1 1 1 0 y 0 = 0 sin u 0 … 1, it follows that 0 csc u 0 = = Ú 1 a … - 1 or Ú 1b . y y 0 sin u 0 0y0 1 Since csc u = , the range of the cosecant function consists of all real numbers less y than or equal to - 1 or greater than or equal to 1. That is, csc u … - 1 or csc u Ú 1 p 1 190°2, then sec u = . Since x = cos u and x 2 1 1 1 1 0 x 0 = 0 cos u 0 … 1, it follows that 0 sec u 0 = = Ú 1 a … - 1 or Ú 1b. x x 0 cos u 0 0x0 1 Since sec u = , the range of the secant function consists of all real numbers less than x or equal to - 1 or greater than or equal to 1.

This example illustrates a more general situation. For a given angle u, measured in radians, suppose that we know the corresponding point P = 1x, y2 on the unit circle. Now add 2p to u. The point on the unit circle corresponding to u + 2p is identical to the point P on the unit circle corresponding to u. See Figure 37.  The values of the trigonometric functions of u + 2p are equal to the values of the corresponding trigonometric functions of u. If we add (or subtract) integer multiples of 2p to u, the values of the sine and cosine function remain unchanged. That is, for all u

sin 1u + 2pk2 = sin u

where k is any integer.

cos 1u + 2pk2 = cos u (1)

Functions that exhibit this kind of behavior are called periodic functions. DEFINITION  Periodic Function and Fundamental Period A function f is called periodic if there is a positive number p with the property that whenever u is in the domain of f, so is u + p, and f1u + p2 = f 1u2

If there is a smallest such number p, this smallest value is called the (fundamental) period of f. Based on equation (1), the sine and cosine functions are periodic. In fact, the sine and cosine functions have period 2p. You are asked to prove this fact in Problems 125 and 126. The secant and cosecant functions are also periodic with period 2p, and the tangent and cotangent functions are periodic with period p. You are asked to prove these statements in Problems 127 through 130. These facts are summarized as follows: Periodic Properties

In Words

Tangent and cotangent have period p; the others have period 2p.

cos 1u + 2p2 = cos u sec1u + 2p2 = sec u

tan 1u + p2 = tan u cot 1u + p2 = cot u

Because the sine, cosine, secant, and cosecant functions have period 2p, once we know their values over an interval of length 2p, we know all their values; similarly, since the tangent and cotangent functions have period p, once we know their values over an interval of length p, we know all their values.

3 Determine the Signs of the Trigonometric Functions in a Given Quadrant

Let P = 1x, y2 be the point on the unit circle that corresponds to the angle u. If we know in which quadrant the point P lies, then we can determine the signs of the trigonometric functions of u. For example, if P = 1x, y2 lies in quadrant IV, as shown in Figure 39, then we know that x 7 0 and y 6 0. Consequently,

The equation of the unit circle is x2 + y2 = 1 or, equivalently, y 2 + x2 = 1 If P = 1x, y2 is the point on the unit circle that corresponds to the angle u, then y = sin u and x = cos u, so we have



1sin u2 2 + 1cos u2 2 = 1(4)

It is customary to write sin2 u instead of 1sin u2 2, cos2 u instead of 1cos u2 2, and so on. With this notation, we can rewrite identity (4) as

sin2 u + cos2 u = 1 (5)

If cos u ≠ 0, we can divide each side of identity (5) by cos2 u. sin2 u cos2 u 1 + = 2 2 cos u cos u cos2 u a

2 sin u 2 1 b + 1 = a b cos u cos u

Now use identities (2) and (3) to get



tan2 u + 1 = sec2 u (6)

Similarly, if sin u ≠ 0, we can divide both sides of identity (5) by sin2 u and use identities (2) and (3) to get 1 + cot 2 u = csc2 u, which we write as



cot 2 u + 1 = csc2 u (7)

5 Find the Exact Values of the Trigonometric Functions

of an Angle Given One of the Functions and the Quadrant of the Angle

Many problems require finding the exact values of the remaining trigonometric functions when the value of one of them is known and the quadrant in which u lies can be found. There are two approaches to solving such problems. One approach uses a circle of radius r; the other uses identities. When using identities, sometimes a rearrangement is required. For example, the Pythagorean identity sin2 u + cos2 u = 1 can be solved for sin u in terms of cos u (or vice versa) as follows: sin2 u = 1 - cos2 u sin u = { 21 - cos2 u

where the + sign is used if sin u 7 0 and the - sign is used if sin u 6 0. Similarly, in tan2 u + 1 = sec2 u, we can solve for tan u (or sec u), and in cot 2 u + 1 = csc2 u, we can solve for cot u (or csc u).

Suppose that P = 1x, y2 is the point on a circle that corresponds to u. Since 1 sin u = 7 0 and cos u 6 0, the point P = 1x, y2 is in quadrant II. Because 3 y 1 sin u = = , we let y = 1 and r = 3. The point P = 1x, y2 = 1x, 12 that r 3 corresponds to u lies on the circle of radius 3 centered at the origin: x2 + y2 = 9. See Figure 41.

Option 1  Using a Circle of Radius r Step 1: Draw a circle centered at the origin showing the location of the angle u and the point P = 1x, y2 that corresponds to u. The radius of the circle that contains P = 1x, y2 is r = 2x2 + y2 . Step 2: Assign a value to two of the three variables x, y, r based on the value of the given trigonometric function and the location of P.

Recall that a function f is even if f1 - u2 = f1u2 for all u in the domain of f ; a function f is odd if f1 - u2 = - f1u2 for all u in the domain of f. We will now show that the trigonometric functions sine, tangent, cotangent, and cosecant are odd functions and the functions cosine and secant are even functions.

so

Sally can jog 8 miles per hour on the paved path, but only 3 miles per hour in the sand on the beach. Because a river flows directly between the two houses, it is necessary to jog in the sand to the road, continue on the path, and then jog directly back in the sand to get from one house to the other.

We want to graph the trigonometric functions in the xy-plane. So we use the traditional symbols x for the independent variable (or argument) and y for the dependent variable for each function. Then the six trigonometric functions are written as

y = f 1x2 = sin x y = f 1x2 = csc x

y = f 1x2 = cos x y = f 1x2 = sec x

y = f 1x2 = tan x y = f 1x2 = cot x

Here the independent variable x represents an angle, measured in radians. However, in calculus, x will usually be treated as a real number. As noted earlier, these are equivalent ways of viewing x.

Because the sine function has period 2p, it is only necessary to graph y = sin x on the interval 3 0, 2p4 . The remainder of the graph will consist of repetitions of this portion of the graph. To begin, consider Table 6, which lists some points on the graph of y = sin x, 0 … x … 2p. As the table shows, the graph of y = sin x, 0 … x … 2p, begins at p the origin. As x increases from 0 to , the value of y = sin x increases from 0 to 1; 2 p 3p as x increases from to p to , the value of y decreases from 1 to 0 to - 1; 2 2 3p as x increases from to 2p, the value of y increases from - 1 to 0. Plotting the 2 points listed in Table 6 and connecting them with a smooth curve yields the graph shown in Figure 44. y 1

The amplitude determines the vertical stretch or compression of the graph of y = sin x or y = cos x.

The values of the functions y = A sin x and y = A cos x, where A ≠ 0, satisfy the inequalities - 0 A 0 … A sin x … 0 A 0

and

- 0 A 0 … A cos x … 0 A 0

respectively. The number 0 A 0 is called the amplitude of y = A sin x or y = A cos x. See Figure 53. y

If v 7 0 and y = sin 1 - vx2 or y = cos 1 - vx2, we use the even-odd properties of the sine and cosine functions, which are sin 1 - vx2 = - sin 1vx2

and cos 1 - vx2 = cos 1vx2

sin 1 - 2x2 = - sin 12x2

and cos 1 - px2 = cos 1px2

This gives us an equivalent form in which the coefficient of x is positive. For example,

Because of this, we can assume that v 7 0. THEOREM

CHAPTER 6  Trigonometric Functions

The Graph of the Cotangent Function y = cot x The graph of y = cot x can be obtained in the same way as the graph of y = tan x. The period of y = cot x is p. Because the cotangent function is not defined for integer multiples of p, concentrate on the interval 10, p2. Table 10 lists some points on the graph of y = cot x, 0 6 x 6 p. To determine the behavior of y = cot x cos x near 0 and p, use the identity cot x = . As x approaches 0 but remains greater sin x than 0, the value of cos x is close to 1, and the value of sin x is positive and close cos x to 0. The ratio is positive and large; so as x S 0 from the right, then cot x S q . sin x Similarly, as x approaches p but remains less than p, the value of cos x is close to - 1, cos x and the value of sin x is positive and close to 0. The ratio = cot x is negative sin x and large; so as x S p from the left, then cot x S - q . Figure 63 shows the graph.

Graph Functions of the Form y = A tan 1Vx 2 + B and y = A cot1Vx 2 + B

For tangent functions, there is no concept of amplitude since the range of the tangent function is 1 - q , q 2. The role of A in y = A tan 1vx2 + B is to provide the magnitude of the vertical stretch. The period of y = tan x is p, so the period p of y = A tan 1vx2 + B is , caused by the horizontal compression of the graph by v 1 a factor of . Finally, the presence of B indicates a vertical shift. v

3 Graph the Cosecant Function y = csc x and the Secant Function y = sec x

The cosecant and secant functions, sometimes referred to as reciprocal functions, are graphed by making use of the reciprocal identities csc x =

1 sin x

and sec x =

1 cos x

426 

CHAPTER 6  Trigonometric Functions

For example, the value of the cosecant function y = csc x at a given number x equals the reciprocal of the corresponding value of the sine function, provided that the value of the sine function is not 0. If the value of sin x is 0, then x is an integer multiple of p. At those numbers, the cosecant function is not defined. In fact, the graph of the cosecant function has a vertical asymptote at each integer multiple of p. Figure 66 shows the graph.

Build Sinusoidal Models from Data Scatter plots of data sometimes resemble the graph of a sinusoidal function. For example, the data given in Table 11 on the next page represent the average monthly temperatures in Denver, Colorado. Since the data represent average monthly temperatures collected over many years, the data will not vary much from year to year and so will essentially repeat each year. In other words, the data are periodic. Figure 75 shows a scatter plot of the data, where x = 1 represents January,  x = 2 represents February, and so on. Notice that the scatter plot looks like the graph of a sinusoidal function. We choose to fit the data to a sine function of the form y = A sin 1vx - f2 + B where A, B, v, and f are constants.

Finding a Sinusoidal Function from Temperature Data Fit a sine function to the data in Table 11.

Solution y

Begin with a scatter plot of the data for one year. See Figure 76. The data will be fitted to a sine function of the form y = A sin 1vx - f2 + B

To see the remaining steps in this process, superimpose the graph of the function y = 22.1 sin x, where x represents months, on the scatter plot. Figure 77 shows the two graphs. To fit the data, the graph needs to be shifted vertically, shifted horizontally, and stretched horizontally.

Step 2: D  etermine the vertical shift by finding the average of the highest and lowest data values.

Vertical shift =

74.2 + 30.0 = 52.1 2

Now superimpose the graph of y = 22.1 sin x + 52.1 on the scatter plot. See Figure 78. We see that the graph needs to be shifted horizontally and stretched horizontally.

The sine curve is increasing on the interval [0, 3] and is decreasing on the interval [3, 9], so a local maximum occurs at x = 3. The data indicate that a maximum occurs at x = 7 (corresponding to July’s temperature), so the graph of the function must be shifted 4 units to the right by replacing x by x - 4. Doing this yields p y = 22.1 sin a 1x - 42 b + 52.1 6

CHAPTER 6  Trigonometric Functions

The longest day of the year (in terms of hours of sunlight) occurs on the day of the summer solstice. For locations in the Northern Hemisphere, the summer solstice is the time when the Sun is farthest north. In 2018, the summer solstice occurred on June 21 (the 172nd day of the year) at 6:07 am EDT. The shortest day of the year occurs on the day of the winter solstice, the time when the Sun is farthest south (for locations in the Northern Hemisphere). In 2018, the winter solstice occurred on December 21 (the 355th day of the year) at 5:23 pm (EST).

largest data value - smallest data value 2 15.28 - 9.07 = = 3.105 2

(a) Step 1:  Amplitude =

largest data value + smallest data value 2 15.28 + 9.07 = = 12.175 2 2p Step 3:  The data repeat every 365 days. Since T = = 365, we find v 2p v = 365 Step 2:  Vertical shift =



So far, we have y = 3.105 sin a

2p x - f b + 12.175. 365

Step 4:  To determine the horizontal shift, use the period T = 365 and divide the interval 3 0, 3654 into four subintervals of length 365 , 4 = 91.25: 3 0, 91.254 ,

3 91.25, 182.54 ,

3 182.5, 273.754 ,

3 273.75, 3654

The sine curve is increasing on the interval [0, 91.25] and is decreasing on the interval [91.25, 273.75], so a local maximum occurs at x = 91.25. Since the maximum occurs on the summer solstice at x = 172, we must shift the graph of the function 172 - 91.25 = 80.75 units to the right by replacing x by x - 80.75. Doing this yields y = 3.105 sin a

2p 1x - 80.752 b + 12.175 365

y = 3.105 sin a

2p 323p x b + 12.175 365 730

Next, multiply out to obtain the form y = A sin 1vx - f2 + B.

Now Work   p r o b l e m 3 1 Certain graphing utilities (such as the TI-83, TI-84 Plus C, and TI-89) have the capability of finding the sine function of best fit for sinusoidal data. At least four data points are required for this process.

E XAM PLE 5

Finding the Sine Function of Best Fit Use a graphing utility to find the sine function of best fit for the data in Table 11. Graph this function with the scatter plot of the data.

Solution

Enter the data from Table 11 and execute the SINe REGression program. The result is shown in Figure 82. The output that the utility provides shows the equation y = a sin 1bx + c2 + d

The sinusoidal function of best fit is

y = 21.54 sin 10.56x - 2.442 + 51.77

where x represents the month and y represents the average monthly temperature. Figure 83 shows the graph of the sinusoidal function of best fit on the scatter plot.

Analytic Trigonometry

Mapping Your Mind The ability to organize material in your mind is key to understanding. You have been exposed to a lot of concepts at this point in the course, and it is a worthwhile exercise to organize the material. In the past, we might organize material using index cards or an outline. But in today’s digital world, we can use interesting software that enables us to digitally organize the material that is in our mind and share it with anyone on the Web.

—See the Internet-based Chapter Project I—

A Look Back

Outline

Chapter 5 introduced inverse functions and developed their properties, particularly the relationship between the domain and range of a function and those of its inverse. We learned that only functions that are one-to-one have an inverse function. But sometimes an appropriate restriction on the domain of a function that is not one-to-one yields a new function that is one-to-one. Then the function defined on the restricted domain has an inverse function. Also, we saw that the graphs of a function and its inverse are symmetric with respect to the line y = x.

7.1

Chapter 5 continued by defining two transcendental functions: the exponential function and the inverse of the exponential function, the logarithmic function. Chapter 6 defined six more transcendental functions, the trigonometric functions, and discussed their properties.

A Look Ahead The first two sections of this chapter define the six inverse trigonometric functions and investigate their properties. Section 7.3 discusses equations that contain trigonometric functions. Sections 7.4 through 7.7 continue the derivation of identities. These identities play an important role in calculus, the physical and life sciences, and economics, where they are used to simplify complicated expressions.

7.1  The Inverse Sine, Cosine, and Tangent Functions PREPARING FOR THIS SECTION  Before getting started, review the following: • Inverse Functions (Section 5.2, pp. 267–274)

• Properties of the Sine, Cosine, and Tangent Functions

• Values of the Trigonometric Functions (Section 6.2,

• Graphs of the Sine, Cosine, and Tangent Functions

(Section 6.3, pp. 392–403)

pp. 377–386)

(Sections 6.4, pp. 407–410 and 6.5, pp. 422–423)

Now Work the ‘Are You Prepared?’ problems on page 459.



OBJECTIVES 1  Define the Inverse Sine Function (p. 450)

2  Find the Value of an Inverse Sine Function (p. 451) 3  Define the Inverse Cosine Function (p. 453) 4  Find the Value of an Inverse Cosine Function (p. 454) 5  Define the Inverse Tangent Function (p. 454) 6  Find the Value of an Inverse Tangent Function (p. 456) 7  Use Properties of Inverse Functions to Find Exact Values of Certain Composite Functions (p. 456) 8  Find the Inverse Function of a Trigonometric Function (p. 458) 9  Solve Equations Involving Inverse Trigonometric Functions (p. 459)

In Section 5.2 we discussed inverse functions, and we concluded that if a function is one-to-one, it will have an inverse function. We also observed that if a function is not one-to-one, it may be possible to restrict its domain in some suitable manner so that the restricted function is one-to-one. For example, the function y = x2 is not one-to-one; however, if the domain is restricted to x Ú 0, the new function is one-to-one. Other properties of a one-to-one function f and its inverse function f -1 that were discussed in Section 5.2 are summarized next.

• • • •

f -1 1f1x2 2 = x for every x in the domain of f . f1f -1 1x2 2 = x for every x in the domain of f -1. The domain of f = the range of f -1, and the range of f = the domain of f -1. The graph of a one-to-one function f and the graph of its inverse f -1 are symmetric with respect to the line y = x. • If a function y = f1x2 has an inverse function, the implicit equation of the inverse function is x = f 1y2. If we solve this equation for y, we obtain the explicit equation y = f -1 1x2.



Define the Inverse Sine Function

Figure 1 shows the graph of y = sin x. Because every horizontal line y = b, where b is between - 1 and 1, inclusive, intersects the graph of y = sin x infinitely many times, it follows from the horizontal-line test that the function y = sin x is not one-to-one. y y 5 b, 21 # b # 1

The implicit form of the inverse function is x = sin y, … y … . The 2 2 explicit form is called the inverse sine of x and is symbolized by y = f -1 1x2 = sin-1 x.

(1)

The inverse sine of x, y = sin-1 x, is read as “y is the angle or real number whose sine equals x,” or, alternatively, is read “y is the inverse sine of x.” Be careful about the notation used. The superscript - 1 that appears in y = sin-1 x is not an exponent but the symbol used to denote the inverse function f -1 of f. (To avoid confusion, some texts use the notation y = arcsin x instead of y = sin-1 x.) The inverse of a function f receives as input an element from the range of f and returns as output an element in the domain of f. The restricted sine function, y = f1x2 = sin x, receives as input an angle or real number x in the p p interval c - , d and outputs a real number in the interval 3 - 1, 14 . Therefore, 2 2 the inverse sine function, y = sin-1 x, receives as input a real number in the interval 3 - 1, 14 or - 1 … x … 1, its domain, and outputs an angle or real number in p p p p the interval c - , d or … y … , its range. 2 2 2 2 The graph of the inverse sine function can be obtained by reflecting the restricted portion of the graph of y = f 1x2 = sin x about the line y = x, as shown in Figure 3.

Since the domain of the inverse sine function is the interval 3 - 1, 14 , the x + 1 argument must be in the interval 3 - 1, 14 . 2 The inverse function is f -1 1x2 = sin-1

NOTE The range of f also can be found using transformations. The range of y = sin x is [- 1, 1]. the range of y = 2 sin x is [- 2, 2] due to the vertical stretch by a factor of 2. The range of f 1x2 = 2 sin x - 1 is [- 3, 1] due to the shift down of 1 unit. j

The domain of f -1 is 5 x ∙ - 3 … x … 16 , or the interval 3 - 3, 14 . So the range of f is the interval 3 - 3, 14 . The range of f -1 equals the domain of f. So the range p p of f -1 is c - , d . 2 2 Now Work

Most calculators do not have keys that evaluate the inverse cotangent, cosecant, or secant functions. The easiest way to evaluate them is to convert each to an inverse trigonometric function whose range is the same as the one to be evaluated. In this regard, notice that y = cot -1 x and y = sec -1 x, except where undefined, have the same range as y = cos-1 x and that y = csc -1 x, except where undefined, has the same range as y = sin-1 x.

CHAPTER 7   Analytic Trigonometry

Applications and Extensions Problems 83 and 84 require the following discussion: When granular materials are allowed to fall freely, they form conical (cone-shaped) piles. The naturally occurring angle, measured from the horizontal, at which the loose material comes to rest is called the angle of repose and varies for different materials. The angle of h repose u is related to the height h and the base radius r of the conical pile by the u -1 r r . See the figure. equation u = cot h 83. Angle of Repose: De-icing Salt Due to potential transportation issues (for example, frozen waterways), de-icing salt used by highway departments in the Midwest must be ordered early and stored for future use. When de-icing salt is stored in a pile 14 feet high, the diameter of the base of the pile is 45 feet. (a) Find the angle of repose for de-icing salt.  (b) What is the base diameter of a pile that is 17 feet high? (c) What is the height of a pile that has a base diameter of approximately 122 feet? Source: Salt Institute, The Salt Storage Handbook, 2015 84. Angle of Repose: Bunker Sand The steepness of sand bunkers on a golf course is affected by the angle of repose of the sand (a larger angle of repose allows for steeper bunkers). A freestanding pile of loose sand from a United States Golf Association (USGA) bunker had a height of 4 feet and a base diameter of approximately 6.68 feet.

(b) What is the height of such a pile if the diameter of the base is 8 feet? (c) A 6-foot-high pile of loose Tour Grade 50/50 sand has a base diameter of approximately 8.44 feet.

Rounded to two decimal places, u = tan-1 1 - 22 = - 1.11 radian. Because of the p p definition of y = tan-1 x, the angle u that is obtained is the angle 6 u 6 for 2 2 which tan u = - 2. But we want solutions for which 0 … u 6 2p. Since the period of the tangent function is p, the angles p - 1.11 and 2p - 1.11 are solutions that lie in the interval 3 0, 2p2.

Then p - 1.11 is the angle in quadrant II, where tan u = - 2, and 2p - 1.11 is the angle in quadrant IV where tan u = - 2. WARNING  Example 6 illustrates that caution must be exercised when solving trigonometric equations on a calculator.

117. Ptolemy, who lived in the city of Alexandria in Egypt during the second century ad, gave the measured values in the following table for the angle of incidence u1 and the angle of refraction u2 for a light beam passing from air into water. Do these values agree with Snell’s Law? If so, what index of refraction results? (These data are of interest as the oldest recorded physical measurements.)

The following discussion of Snell’s Law of Refraction* (named after Willebrord Snell, 1580–1626) is needed for Problems 115–122. Light, sound, and other waves travel at different speeds, depending on the medium (air, water, wood, and so on) through which they pass. Suppose that light travels from a point A in one medium, where its speed is v1 , to a point B in another medium, where its speed is v2 . Refer to the figure, where the angle u1 is called the angle of incidence and the angle u2 is the angle of refraction. Snell’s Law, which can be proved using calculus, states that

The Brewster angle is related to the indices of refraction of the two media, n1 and n2, by the equation n1 sin uB = n2 cos uB, where n1 is the index of refraction of the incident medium and n2 is the index of refraction of the refractive medium.

OBJECTIVES 1  Use Algebra to Simplify Trigonometric Expressions (p. 480)

2  Establish Identities (p. 481)

This section establishes additional identities involving trigonometric functions. First, let’s define an identity. DEFINITION  Identically Equal, Identity, and Conditional Equation Two functions f and g are identically equal if f1x2 = g1x2 for every value of x for which both functions are defined. Such an equation is referred to as an identity. An equation that is not an identity is called a conditional equation. For example, the following are identities: 1x + 12 2 = x2 + 2x + 1

sin2 x + cos2 x = 1

csc x =

1 sin x

cos 1 - u2 = cos u sec1 - u2 = sec u

tan 1 - u2 = - tan u cot1 - u2 = - cot u

This list comprises what shall be referred to as the basic trigonometric identities. These identities should not merely be memorized, but should be known (just as you know your name rather than have it memorized). In fact, minor variations of a basic identity are often used. For example, sin2 u = 1 - cos2 u or cos2 u = 1 - sin2 u might be used instead of sin2 u + cos2 u = 1. For this reason, among others, it is very important to know these relationships and be comfortable with variations of them.

Use Algebra to Simplify Trigonometric Expressions The ability to use algebra to manipulate trigonometric expressions is a key skill that one must have to establish identities. Four basic algebraic techniques are used to establish identities: • Rewriting a trigonometric expression in terms of sine and cosine only • Multiplying the numerator and denominator of a ratio by a “well-chosen 1” • Writing sums of trigonometric ratios as a single ratio • Factoring

Establish Identities NOTE  A graphing utility cannot be used to establish an identity—identities must be established algebraically. A graphing utility can be used to provide evidence of an identity. For example, if we graph Y1 = csc u # tan u and Y2 = sec u, the graphs appear to be the same providing evidence that Y1 = Y2. j

In the examples that follow, the directions read “Establish the identity . . . .” This is accomplished by starting with one side of the given equation (usually the side containing the more complicated expression) and, using appropriate basic identities and algebraic manipulations, arriving at the other side. The selection of appropriate basic identities to obtain the desired result is learned only through experience and lots of practice.

WARNING  Do not try to establish an identity by treating it as an equation. We cannot add or multiply both sides by the same expression because we do not know if the sides are equal. That is what we are trying to prove. j

Guidelines for Establishing Identities

• It is almost always preferable to start with the side containing the more

complicated expression. • Rewrite sums or differences of quotients as a single quotient. • Sometimes it helps to rewrite one side in terms of sine and cosine functions only. • Always keep the goal in mind. As you manipulate one side of the expression, keep in mind the form of the expression on the other side.

This section continues the derivation of trigonometric identities by obtaining formulas that involve the sum or the difference of two angles, such as cos 1a + b2 , cos 1a - b2 , and sin 1a + b2. These formulas are referred to as the Sum and Difference Formulas. We begin with the formulas for cos 1a + b2 and cos 1a - b2. THEOREM  Sum and Difference Formulas for the Cosine Function

In Words

Formula (1) states that the cosine of the sum of two angles equals the cosine of the first angle times the cosine of the second angle minus the sine of the first angle times the sine of the second angle.

cos 1a + b2 = cos a cos b - sin a sin b (1) cos 1a - b2 = cos a cos b + sin a sin b (2)

Proof  We prove formula (2) first. Although the formula is true for all numbers a and b, we assume in our proof that 0 6 b 6 a 6 2p. Begin with the unit circle and place the angles a and b in standard position, as shown in Figure 26(a) on the next page. The point P1 lies on the terminal side of b, so its coordinates are 1cos b, sin b2 ; and the point P2 lies on the terminal side of a, so its coordinates are 1cos a, sin a2 .

Now place the angle a - b in standard position, as shown in Figure 26(b). The point A has coordinates 11, 02, and the point P3 is on the terminal side of the angle a - b, so its coordinates are 1cos 1a - b2, sin 1a - b2 2. Looking at triangle OP1 P2 in Figure 26(a) and triangle OAP3 in Figure 26(b), note that these triangles are congruent. (Do you see why? SAS: two sides and the included angle, a - b, are equal.) As a result, the unknown side of triangle OP1 P2 and the unknown side of triangle OAP3 must be equal; that is, d 1A, P3 2 = d 1P1 , P2 2

Now use the distance formula to obtain

2 3 cos 1a - b2 - 14 2 + 3 sin 1a - b2 - 04 2 = 2 1cos a - cos b2 2 + 1sin a - sin b2 2 d1 A, P3 2 = d1P1 , P2 2 3 cos 1a - b2 - 14 2 + sin2 1a - b2 = 1cos a - cos b2 2 + 1sin a - sin b2 2

cos2 1a - b2 - 2 cos 1a - b2 + 1 + sin2 1a - b2 = cos2 a - 2 cos a cos b + cos2 b

+ sin2 a - 2 sin a sin b + sin2 b

2 - 2 cos 1a - b2 = 2 - 2 cos a cos b - 2 sin a sin b - 2 cos 1a - b2 = - 2 cos a cos b - 2 sin a sin b cos 1a - b2 = cos a cos b + sin a sin b

Square both sides.

Multiply out the squared terms. Use a Pythagorean Identity (3 times). Subtract 2 from both sides. Divide both sides by −2.

This is formula (2).

The proof of the Sum Formula for cosine follows from the Difference Formula for cosine and the Even-Odd Identities. Because a + b = a - 1 - b2 , it follows that cos 1a + b2 = cos 3 a - 1 - b2 4

= cos a cos 1 - b2 + sin a sin 1 - b2 = cos a cos b - sin a sin b

1 1 In this section, formulas for sin 12u2, cos 12u2, sin a ub , and cos a ub are established 2 2 in terms of sin u and cos u. They are derived using the Sum Formulas. In the Sum Formulas for sin 1a + b2 and cos 1a + b2, let a = b = u. Then sin 1a + b2 = sin a cos b + cos a sin b sin 1u + u2 = sin u cos u + cos u sin u

and

sin 12u2 = 2 sin u cos u

cos 1a + b2 = cos a cos b - sin a sin b cos 1u + u2 = cos u cos u - sin u sin u cos 12u2 = cos2 u - sin2 u

An application of the Pythagorean identity sin2 u + cos2 u = 1 results in two other ways to express cos 12u2. and

cos 12u2 = cos2 u - sin2 u = 11 - sin2 u2 - sin2 u = 1 - 2 sin2 u

cos 12u2 = cos2 u - sin2 u = cos2 u - 11 - cos2 u2 = 2 cos2 u - 1

CHAPTER 7   Analytic Trigonometry

Solution

(a) In the Sum Formula for tan 1a + b2, let a = b = u. Then tan 1a + b2 = tan 1u + u2 =



tan 12u2 =

tan a + tan b 1 - tan a tan b tan u + tan u 1 - tan u tan u

2 tan u (5) 1 - tan2 u

(b) To find a formula for sin 13u2, write 3u as 2u + u, and use the Sum Formula. sin 13u2 = sin 12u + u2 = sin 12u2 cos u + cos 12u2 sin u

Now use the Double-angle Formulas to get

sin 13u2 = 12 sin u cos u2 1cos u2 + 1cos2 u - sin2 u2 1sin u2 = 2 sin u cos2 u + sin u cos2 u - sin3 u = 3 sin u cos2 u - sin3 u The formula obtained in Example 2(b) also can be written as sin 13u2 = 3 sin u cos2 u - sin3 u = 3 sin u11 - sin2 u2 - sin3 u = 3 sin u - 4 sin3 u

That is, sin 13u2 is a third-degree polynomial in the variable sin u. In fact, sin 1nu2, n a positive odd integer, can always be written as a polynomial of degree n in the variable sin u.* Now Work   p r o b l e m 6 9 Rearranging the Double-angle Formulas (3) and (4) leads to other formulas that are used later and are important in calculus. Begin with Double-angle Formula (3) and solve for sin2 u. cos 12u2 = 1 - 2 sin2 u

2 sin2 u = 1 - cos 12u2



sin2 u =

1 - cos 12u2 (6) 2

Similarly, using Double-angle Formula (4), solve for cos2 u. cos 12u2 = 2 cos2 u - 1

2 cos2 u = 1 + cos 12u2



cos2 u =

1 + cos 12u2 (7) 2

Formulas (6) and (7) can be used to develop a formula for tan2 u. 1 - cos 12u2 sin u 2 tan2 u = = 1 + cos 12u2 cos2 u 2 2

Projectile Motion An object is propelled upward at an angle u to the horizontal with an initial velocity of v0 feet per second. See Figure 32. If air resistance is ignored, the range R—the horizontal distance that the object travels—is given by the function

1 2 v0 sin 12u2. 32 (b) Find the angle u for which R is a maximum. (a) Show that R 1u2 =

Solution

(a) Rewrite the expression for the range using the Double-angle Formula sin 12u2 = 2 sin u cos u. Then R 1u2 =

1 2 1 2 2 sin u cos u 1 2 v0 sin u cos u = v0 = v sin 12u2 16 16 2 32 0

(b) In this form, the largest value for the range R can be found. For a fixed initial speed v0 , the angle u of inclination to the horizontal determines the value of R. The largest value of a sine function is 1, which occurs when the argument 2u is 90°. For maximum R, it follows that 2u = 90° u = 45° An inclination to the horizontal of 45° results in the maximum range.

2  Express Sums as Products (p. 512)

Express Products as Sums Sum and Difference Formulas can be used to derive formulas for writing the products of sines and/or cosines as sums or differences. These identities are usually called the Product-to-Sum Formulas.

1 3 sin 1a + b2 + sin 1a - b24 (3) 2

These formulas do not have to be memorized. Instead, remember how they are derived. Then, when you want to use them, either look them up or derive them, as needed. To derive Product-to-Sum Formulas (1) and (2), write down the Sum and Difference Formulas for cosine:

cos 1a - b2 = cos a cos b + sin a sin b (4) cos 1a + b2 = cos a cos b - sin a sin b (5)

To derive formula (1), subtract equation (5) from equation (4)

from which

cos 1a - b2 - cos 1a + b2 = 2 sin a sin b sin a sin b =

1 3 cos 1a - b2 - cos 1a + b2 4 2

To derive formula (2), add equations (4) and (5)

from which

cos 1a - b2 + cos 1a + b2 = 2 cos a cos b cos a cos b =

1 3 cos 1a - b2 + cos 1a + b2 4 2

To do this, we will use mind-mapping software called Mindomo. Mindomo is free software that enables you to organize your thoughts digitally and share these thoughts with anyone on the Web. By organizing your thoughts, you can see the big picture and then communicate this big picture to others. You are also able to see how various concepts are related to each other. 1. Go to http://www.mindomo.com and register. Learn how to use Mindomo. A video on using Mindomo can be found at http://www.screencast.com/t/ZPwJQDs4 2. Use an Internet search engine to research Mind Mapping. Write a few paragraphs that explain the history and benefit of mind mapping. 3. Create a MindMap that explains the following: (a) The six trigonometric functions and their properties (including the inverses of these functions) (b) The fundamental trigonometric identities When creating your map, be creative! Perhaps you can share ideas about when a particular identity might be used, or when a particular identity cannot be used. 4. Share the MindMap so that students in your class can view it. The following projects are available on the Instructor’s Resource Center (IRC):  II.  Waves Wave motion is described by a sinusoidal equation. The Principle of Superposition of two waves is discussed.

Applications of Trigonometric Functions The Lewis and Clark Expedition In today’s world of GPS and smart phone apps that can precisely track one’s location, it is difficult to fathom the magnitude of the challenge that confronted Meriwether Lewis and William Clark in 1804. But Lewis and Clark managed. Commissioned by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the newly purchased Louisiana Territory, the co-captains led their expedition—the Corps of Discovery—on a journey that took nearly two and a half years and carried them more than 7000 miles. Starting at St. Louis, Missouri, they traveled up the Missouri River, across the Great Plains, over the Rocky Mountains, down the Columbia River to the Pacific Ocean, and then back. Along the way, using limited tools such as a compass and octant, they created more than 130 maps of the area with remarkable detail and accuracy.

A Look Back

Outline

In Chapter 6, we defined the six trigonometric functions using the unit circle. In particular, we learned to evaluate the trigonometric functions. We also learned how to graph sinusoidal functions. In Chapter 7, we defined the inverse trigonometric functions and solved equations involving the trigonometric functions.

8.1

A Look Ahead In this chapter, we define the trigonometric functions using right triangles and then use the trigonometric functions to solve applied problems. The first four sections deal with applications involving right triangles and oblique triangles, triangles that do not have a right angle. To solve problems involving oblique triangles, we will develop the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines. We will also develop formulas for finding the area of a triangle. The final section deals with applications of sinusoidal functions involving simple harmonic motion and damped motion.

CHAPTER 8  Applications of Trigonometric Functions

• Trigonometric Equations (Section 7.3, pp. 469–474)

Find the Value of Trigonometric Functions of Acute Angles Using Right Triangles A triangle in which one angle is a right angle 190°2 is called a right triangle. Recall that the side opposite the right angle is called the hypotenuse, and the remaining two sides are called the legs of the triangle. In Figure 1(a), the hypotenuse is labeled as c to indicate that its length is c units, and, in a like manner, the legs are labeled as a and b. Because the triangle is a right triangle, the Pythagorean Theorem tells us that a 2 + b2 = c 2 Figure 1(a) also shows the angle u. The angle u is an acute angle: that is, 0° 6 u 6 90° p for u measured in degrees and 0 6 u 6 for u measured in radians. Place u 2 in standard position, as shown in Figure 1(b). Then the coordinates of the point P are 1a, b2. Also, P is a point on the terminal side of u that is on the circle x2 + y2 = c 2. (Do you see why?) y Hypotenuse c

By referring to the lengths of the sides of the triangle by the names hypotenuse 1c2, opposite 1b2, and adjacent 1a2 , as indicated in Figure 2, the trigonometric functions of u can be expressed as ratios of the sides of a right triangle.

The values of the trigonometric functions of an acute angle are ratios of the lengths of the sides of a right triangle. This way of viewing the trigonometric functions leads to many applications and, in fact, was the point of view used by early mathematicians (before calculus) in studying the subject of trigonometry.

The area A of the opening is the sum of the areas of two congruent right triangles and one rectangle. Look at Figure 4(c), which shows the triangle on the right in Figure 4(b) redrawn. Note that cos u =

Two acute angles are called complementary if their sum is a right angle, or 90°. Because the sum of the angles of any triangle is 180°, it follows that, for a right triangle, the sum of the acute angles is 90°, so the two acute angles in every right triangle are complementary. Refer now to Figure 6, which labels the angle opposite side b as B and the angle opposite side a as A. Notice that side b is adjacent to angle A and side a is adjacent to angle B. As a result, b = cos A c c csc B = = sec A b sin B =

Because of these relationships, the functions sine and cosine, tangent and cotangent, and secant and cosecant are called cofunctions of each other. The identities (2) may be expressed in words as follows: THEOREM  Complementary Angle Theorem Cofunctions of complementary angles are equal. Examples of this theorem are given next:

In the discussion that follows, a right triangle is always labeled so that side a is opposite angle A, side b is opposite angle B, and side c is the hypotenuse, as shown in Figure 7. To solve a right triangle means to find the lengths of its sides and the measurements of its angles. We express the lengths of the sides rounded to two decimal places and angle measures in degrees rounded to one decimal place. (Be sure that your calculator is in degree mode.)

To solve a right triangle, we need to know one of the acute angles A or B and a side, or else two sides (in which case the Pythagorean Theorem can be used). Also, because the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°, the sum of the measures of angles A and B in a right triangle must be 90°.

4 Solve Applied Problems* In addition to developing models using right triangles, we can use right triangle trigonometry to measure heights and distances that are either awkward or impossible to measure by ordinary means. When using right triangles to solve these problems, pay attention to the known measures. This will indicate what trigonometric function to use. For example, if you know the measure of an angle and the length of the side adjacent to the angle, and wish to find the length of the opposite side, you would use the tangent function. Do you know why? *In applied problems, it is important that answers be reported with both justifiable accuracy and ­appropriate significant figures. In this chapter we shall assume that the problem data are accurate to the number of significant digits resulting in sides being rounded to two decimal places and angles being rounded to one decimal place.

Finding the Width of a River A surveyor can measure the width of a river by setting up a transit* at a point C on one side of the river and taking a sighting of a point A on the other side. Refer to Figure 10. After turning through an angle of 90° at C, the surveyor walks a distance of 200 meters to point B. Using the transit at B, the angle u is measured and found to be 20°. What is the width of the river rounded to the nearest meter?

As seen in Figure 10, the width of the river is the length of side b, and a and u are known. Use the facts that b is opposite u and a is adjacent to u and write tan u =

Finding the Height of a Cloud Meteorologists find the height of a cloud using an instrument called a ceilometer. A ceilometer consists of a light projector that directs a vertical light beam up to the cloud base and a light detector that scans the cloud to detect the light beam. See Figure 13(a). At Midway Airport in Chicago, a ceilometer was employed to find the height of the cloud cover. It was set up with its light detector 300 feet from its light projector.

Therefore, the optimal approach is to measure the angle when Earth is on opposite sides of the Sun, as shown in the figure. Earth's orbit

If none of the angles of a triangle is a right angle, the triangle is called oblique. An oblique triangle will have either three acute angles or two acute angles and one obtuse angle (an angle measuring between 90° and 180°). See Figure 18.

CHAPTER 8  Applications of Trigonometric Functions

WARNING  Oblique triangles cannot be solved using the methods of Section 8.1. Do you know why? j

To solve an oblique triangle means to find the lengths of its sides and the measures of its angles. To do this, we need to know the length of one side,* along with (i) two angles, (ii) one angle and one other side, or (iii) the other two sides. There are four possibilities to consider. Case 1:  Case 2:  Case 3:  Case 4: 

One side and two angles are known (ASA or SAA). Two sides and the angle opposite one of them are known (SSA). Two sides and the included angle are known (SAS). Three sides are known (SSS).

The Law of Sines is used to solve triangles for which Case 1 or 2 holds. Cases 3 and 4 are considered when we study the Law of Cosines in the next section. THEOREM  Law of Sines For a triangle with sides a, b, c and opposite angles A, B, C, respectively, sin A sin B sin C = = (1) a c b



A proof of the Law of Sines is given at the end of this section. The Law of Sines actually consists of three equalities: sin A sin B = a b

sin A sin C = a c

sin B sin C = c b

Formula (1) is a compact way to write these three equations. Typically, to solve triangles with the Law of Sines, we use the fact that the sum of the angles of any triangle equals 180°; that is,

A + B + C = 180°

(2)

Solve SAA or ASA Triangles The first two examples show how to solve a triangle when one side and two angles are known (Case 1: SAA or ASA).

E XAM PLE 1

Using the Law of Sines to Solve an SAA Triangle Solve the triangle:  A = 40°, B = 60°, a = 4

Solution

Figure 21 shows the triangle to be solved. The third angle C is found using formula (2). A + B + C = 180° 40° + 60° + C = 180° C = 80° * The length of one side must be known because knowing only the angles results in a family of ­similar triangles.

Case 2 (SSA), which describes triangles for which two sides and the angle opposite one of them are known, is referred to as the ambiguous case, because the known information may result in one triangle, two triangles, or no triangle at all. Suppose that sides a and b and angle A are given, as illustrated in Figure 23. The key to determining how many triangles, if any, can be formed from the given information lies primarily with the relative size of side a, the height h, and the fact that h = b sin A. No Triangle  If a 6 h = b sin A, then side a is not long enough to form a ­triangle. See Figure 24. b

Finding the Height of a Mountain To measure the height of a mountain, a surveyor takes two sightings of the peak at a distance 900 meters apart on a direct line to the mountain.* See Figure 31(a) on the next page. The first observation results in an angle of elevation of 47°, and the second results in an angle of elevation of 35°. If the transit is 2 meters high, what is the height h of the mountain? *For simplicity, assume that these sightings are at the same level.

Rescue at Sea Coast Guard Station Zulu is located 120 miles due west of Station X-ray. A ship at sea sends an SOS call that is received by each station. The call to Station Zulu ­indicates that the bearing of the ship from Zulu is N40°E (40° east of north). The call to Station X-ray indicates that the bearing of the ship from X-ray is N30°W (30° west of north). (a) How far is each station from the ship? (b) If a helicopter capable of flying 200 miles per hour is dispatched from the nearest station to the ship, how long will it take to reach the ship?

Solution

(a) Figure 32 illustrates the situation. The angle C is found to be C = 180° - 50° - 60° = 70° The Law of Sines can now be used to find the two distances a and b that are needed.

Proof of the Law of Sines  To prove the Law of Sines, construct an altitude of length h from one of the vertices of a triangle.

*On February 27, 1964, the government of Italy requested aid in preventing the tower from toppling. A multinational task force of engineers, mathematicians, and historians was assigned and met on the Azores islands to discuss stabilization methods. After over two decades of work on the subject, the tower was closed to the public in January 1990. During the time that the tower was closed, the bells were removed to relieve it of some weight, and cables were cinched around the third level and anchored several hundred meters away. Apartments and houses in the path of the tower were vacated for safety concerns. After a decade of corrective reconstruction and stabilization efforts, the tower was reopened to the public on December 15, 2001. Many methods were proposed to stabilize the tower, including the addition of 800 metric tons of lead counterweights to the raised end of the base. The final solution was to remove 38 cubic meters of soil from underneath the raised end. The tower has been declared stable for at least another 300 years.

Now Work the ‘Are You Prepared?’ problems on page 549.

OBJECTIVES 1  Solve SAS Triangles  (p. 547)



2  Solve SSS Triangles  (p. 547) 3  Solve Applied Problems  (p. 548)

In the previous section, the Law of Sines was used to solve Case 1 (SAA or ASA) and Case 2 (SSA) of an oblique triangle. In this s­ ection, the Law of Cosines is derived and used to solve Cases 3 and 4. Case 3:  Two sides and the included angle are known (SAS). Case 4:  Three sides are known (SSS).

THEOREM  Law of Cosines For a triangle with sides a, b, c and opposite angles A, B, C, respectively,

Proof  Only formula (1) is proved here. Formulas (2) and (3) can be proved using the same argument. Begin by strategically placing a triangle on a rectangular coordinate system so that the vertex of angle C is at the origin and side b lies along the positive x-axis. Regardless of whether C is acute, as in Figure 35(a), or obtuse, as in Figure 35(b), the vertex of angle B has coordinates 1a cos C, a sin C2. The vertex of angle A has coordinates 1b, 02. Use the distance formula to compute c 2.

THEOREM  Law of Cosines The square of one side of a triangle equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides, minus twice their product times the cosine of their included angle. Observe that if the triangle is a right triangle (so that, say, C = 90°), formula (1) becomes the familiar Pythagorean Theorem: c 2 = a2 + b2. That is, the Pythagorean ­Theorem is a special case of the Law of Cosines.

Solve SAS Triangles The Law of Cosines is used to solve Case 3 (SAS), which applies to triangles for which two sides and the included angle are known.

E XAM PLE 1

Using the Law of Cosines to Solve an SAS Triangle Solve the triangle:  a = 2, b = 3, C = 60°

Solution

See Figure 36. Because two sides, a and b, and the included angle, C = 60°, are known, the Law of Cosines makes it easy to find the third side, c. c 2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab cos C

Side c is of length 17. To find the angles A and B, either the Law of Sines or the Law of Cosines may be used. It is preferable to use the Law of Cosines because it will lead to an equation with one solution whether solving for A or B. Using the Law of Sines would lead to an equation with two solutions that would need to be checked to determine which solution fits the given data.* We choose to use formulas (2) and (3) of the Law of Cosines to find A and B. For A: a2 = b2 + c 2 - 2bc cos A 2bc cos A = b2 + c 2 - a2 cos A =

b2 + c 2 - a 2 9 + 7 - 4 12 227 = = = 2bc 7 2 # 327 627

A = cos-1

227 ≈ 40.9° 7

For B: NOTE  The angle B can also be found using A + B + C = 180°, so B = 180° - 40.9° - 60° = 79.1°. j

Correcting a Navigational Error A motorized sailboat leaves Naples, Florida, bound for Key West, 150 miles away. Maintaining a constant speed of 15 miles per hour, but encountering heavy­ crosswinds and strong currents, the crew finds, after 4 hours, that the sailboat is off course by 20°. (a) How far is the sailboat from Key West at this time? (b) Through what angle should the sailboat turn to correct its course? (c) How much time has been added to the trip because of this? (Assume that the speed remains at 15 miles per hour.)

Solution

See Figure 38. With a speed of 15 miles per hour, the sailboat has gone 60 miles after 4 hours. The distance x of the sailboat from Key West is to be found, along with the angle u that the sailboat should turn through to correct its course. (a) To find x, use the Law of Cosines, because two sides and the included angle are known.

Historical Feature

T

he Law of Sines was known vaguely long before it was explicitly stated by Nasir Eddin (about ad 1250). Ptolemy (about ad 150) was aware of it in a form using a chord function instead of the sine function. But it was first clearly stated in Europe by Regiomontanus, writing in 1464. The Law of Cosines appears first in Euclid’s Elements (Book II), but in a well-disguised form in which squares built on the sides of triangles are added and a rectangle representing the cosine term is subtracted. It was thus known to all mathematicians because of their

familiarity with Euclid’s work. An early modern form of the Law of Cosines, that for finding the angle when the sides are known, was stated by François Viète (in 1593). The Law of Tangents (see Problem 65 in Section 8.2) has become obsolete. In the past it was used in place of the Law of Cosines, because the Law of Cosines was very inconvenient for calculation with logarithms or slide rules. Mixing of addition and multiplication is now very easy on a calculator, however, and the Law of Tangents has been shelved along with the slide rule.

In this section, several formulas for calculating the area of a triangle are derived. NOTE Typically, A is used for area. However, because A is also used as the measure of an angle, K is used here for area to avoid confusion. j

THEOREM  Area of a Triangle The area K of a triangle is

K =

where b is the base and h is the altitude drawn to that base. Proof  Look at the triangle in Figure 39. Around the triangle construct a rectangle of altitude h and base b, as shown in Figure 40. Triangles 1 and 2 in Figure 40 are equal in area, as are triangles 3 and 4. ­Consequently, the area of the triangle with base b and altitude h is exactly half the area of the rectangle, which is bh.

eron’s Formula (also known as Hero’s Formula) was first expressed by Heron of Alexandria (first century ad ), who had, besides his mathematical talents, engineering skills. In various temples, his mechanical devices produced effects that seemed supernatural and supposedly moved visitors to generosity. Heron’s book Metrica, on making such

devices, has survived and was discovered in 1896 in the city of Constantinople. Heron’s Formulas for the area of a triangle caused some mild discomfort in Greek mathematics, because a product with two factors was an area and one with three factors was a volume, but four factors seemed contradictory in Heron’s time.

CHAPTER 8  Applications of Trigonometric Functions

The swinging of a pendulum, the vibrations of a tuning fork, and the bobbing of a weight attached to a coiled spring are examples of vibrational motion. In this type of motion, an object swings back and forth over the same path. In Figure 43, the point B is the equilibrium (rest) position of the vibrating object. The amplitude is the distance from the object’s rest position to its point of greatest displacement (either point A or point C in Figure 43). The period is the time required to complete one vibration—that is, the time it takes to go from, say, point A through B to C and back to A.

Tuning fork

Simple harmonic motion is a special kind of vibrational motion in which the acceleration a of the object is directly proportional to the negative of its displacement d from its rest position. That is, a = - kd, k 7 0. A

Compressed

For example, when the mass hanging from the spring in Figure 43 is pulled down from its rest position B to the point C, the force of the spring tries to restore the mass to its rest position. Assuming that there is no frictional force to retard the motion, the amplitude will remain constant. The force increases in direct proportion to the distance that the mass is pulled from its rest position. Since the force increases directly, the acceleration of the mass of the object must do likewise, because (by Newton’s Second Law of Motion) force is directly proportional to acceleration. As a result, the acceleration of the object varies directly with its displacement, and the motion is an example of simple harmonic motion. Simple harmonic motion is related to circular motion. To see this relationship, consider a circle of radius a, with center at 10, 02. See Figure 44. Suppose that an object initially placed at 1a, 02 moves counterclockwise around the circle at a constant ­angular speed v. Suppose further that after time t has elapsed the object is at the point > P = 1x, y2 on the circle. The angle u, in radians, swept out by the ray OP in this time t is

Corresponding to each position P = 1x, y2 of the object moving about the circle, there is the point Q = 1x, 02, called the projection of P on the x-axis. As P moves around the circle at a constant rate, the point Q moves back and forth between the points 1a, 02 and 1 - a, 02 along the x-axis with a motion that is simple harmonic. Similarly, for each point P there is a point Q′ = 10, y2, called the projection of P on the y-axis. As P moves around the circle, the point Q′ moves back and forth between the points 10, a2 and 10, - a2 on the y-axis with a motion that is simple harmonic. Therefore, simple harmonic motion can be described as the projection of constant circular motion on a coordinate axis. To illustrate, again consider a mass hanging from a spring where the mass is pulled down from its rest position to the point C and then released. See Figure 45(a). The graph shown in Figure 45(b) describes the displacement d of the object from its rest position as a function of time t, assuming that no frictional force is present.

Build a Model for an Object in Simple Harmonic Motion Suppose that an object attached to a coiled spring is pulled down a distance of 5 inches from its rest position and then released.

Solution

The motion of the object is simple harmonic. See Figure 46. When the object is released 1t = 02, the displacement of the object from the rest position is - 5 units (since the object was pulled down). Because d = - 5 when t = 0, it is easier to use the cosine function d 1t2 = a cos 1vt2

3 Analyze an Object in Damped Motion In the models discussed up to now, the motion was simple harmonic. That is, they assumed no force was retarding the motion. However, most physical phenomena are affected by friction or other resistive forces. These forces remove energy from a ­moving system and thereby damp its motion. For example, when a mass hanging from a spring is pulled down a distance a and released, the friction in the spring causes the distance the mass moves from its rest position to decrease over time. As a result, the amplitude of any real oscillating spring or swinging pendulum decreases with time due to air resistance, friction, or other forces. See Figure 47. a

Figure 47  Damped motion

A model that describes this phenomenon maintains a sinusoidal component, but the amplitude of this component decreases with time to account for the damping effect. Moreover, the period of the oscillating component is affected by the damping. The next theorem, from physics, describes damped motion.

The displacement d is the product of y = e -t>p and y = cos t. Using properties of absolute value and the fact that 0 cos t 0 … 1, it follows that

CHAPTER 8  Applications of Trigonometric Functions

Situations also exist where external forces cause a vibrating system to oscillate at larger and larger amplitudes. This phenomenon, known as resonance from the Latin resonare (meaning “resound”) or resonantia (meaning “echo”), occurs when external vibrations match the natural frequency of the vibrating system. Resonance can be destructive to bridges, buildings, or even mechanical devices. For example, bridges can be affected by soldiers marching in step, buildings can be affected by blowing winds, and automobiles can be affected by the vibrations of its tires. Engineers account for expected external vibrations in their designs and incorporate shock absorbers or dampers to counter the effect of resonance.

4 Graph the Sum of Two Functions Many physical and biological applications require the graph of the sum of two ­functions, such as f1x2 = x + sin x or g1x2 = sin x + cos 12x2

For example, if two tones are emitted, the sound produced is the sum of the waves produced by the two tones. See Problem 51 in Section 7.7 for an explanation of Touch-Tone phones. To graph the sum of two (or more) functions, add the y-coordinates that ­correspond to equal values of x.

59. A Clock Signal  A clock signal is a non-sinusoidal signal used to coordinate actions of a digital circuit. Such signals oscillate between two levels, high and low, “instantaneously” at regular intervals. The most common clock signal has the form of a square wave and can be approximated by the sum of simple harmonic sinusoidal waves, such as f 1x2 = 2.35 + sin x +

61. Graph the sound emitted by the * key on a Touch-Tone phone. See Problem 51 in Section 7.7. 62. CBL Experiment  The sound from a tuning fork is collected over time. A model of the form y = A cos 3B 1x - C24 is fitted to the data. Find the amplitude, frequency, and period of the graph. (Activity 23, Real-World Math with the CBL System.)

63. CBL Experiment  Pendulum motion is analyzed to estimate simple harmonic motion. A plot is generated with the position of the pendulum over time. The graph is used to find a sinusoidal curve of the form y = A cos 3B 1x - C2 4 + D. Find the amplitude, period, and frequency. (Activity 16, Real-World Math with the CBL System.) 64. Challenge Problem Beats  When two sinusoidal waves travel through the same medium, a third wave is formed that is the sum of the two original waves. If the two waves have slightly different frequencies, the sum of the waves results in an interference pattern known as a beat. Musicians use this idea when tuning an instrument with the aid of a tuning fork. If the instrument and the tuning fork play the same frequency, no beat is heard. Suppose two waves given by the functions, y1 = 3 cos 1v1t2 and y2 = 3 cos 1v2t2 where v1 7 v2 pass through the same medium, and each has a maximum at t = 0 sec. (a) How long does it take the sum function y3 = y1 + y2 to equal 0 for the first time? (b) If the periods of the two functions y1 and y2 are T1 = 19 sec and T2 = 20 sec, respectively, find the first time the sum y3 = y1 + y2 = 0. (c) Use the values from part (b) to graph y3 over the interval 0 … x … 600. Do the waves appear to be in tune?

Chapter Projects I. Spherical Trigonometry  When the distance between two locations on the surface of Earth is small, we can treat Earth as a plane and compute the distance in statutory miles. Using this assumption, we can use the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines to approximate distances and angles. However, the Earth is a sphere, so as the distance between two points on its surface increases, the linear distance is less accurate. Under this circumstance, we need to take into account the curvature of Earth when using the Law of Sines and the Law of Cosines. 1.

See the figure. The points A, B, and C are the vertices of a spherical triangle with sides a, b, and c, a threesided figure drawn on the surface of a sphere with center at the point O. Connect each vertex by a radius to the center O of the sphere. Now draw tangent lines to the sides a and b of the triangle that go through C. Extend the lines OA and OB to intersect the tangent lines at P and Q, respectively. List the plane right triangles. Find the measures of the central angles. C b

Polar Coordinates; Vectors How Airplanes Fly Four aerodynamic forces act on an airplane in flight: lift, drag, thrust, and weight (gravity). Drag is the resistance of air molecules hitting the airplane (the backward force), thrust is the power of the airplane’s engine (the forward force), lift is the upward force, and weight is the downward force. So for airplanes to fly and stay airborne, the thrust must be greater than the drag, and the lift must be greater than the weight. This is certainly the case when an airplane takes off or climbs. However, when it is in straight and level flight, the opposing forces of lift, and weight are balanced. During a descent, weight exceeds lift, and to slow the airplane, drag has to overcome thrust. Thrust is generated by the airplane’s engine (propeller or jet), weight is created by the natural force of gravity acting on the airplane, and drag comes from friction as the plane moves through air molecules. Drag is also a reaction to lift, and this lift must be generated by the airplane in flight. This is done by the wings of the airplane. A cross section of a typical airplane wing shows the top surface to be more curved than the bottom surface. This shaped profile is called an airfoil (or aerofoil), and the shape is used because an airfoil generates significantly more lift than opposing drag. In other words, it is very efficient at generating lift. During flight, air naturally flows over and beneath the wing and is deflected upward over the top surface and downward beneath the lower surface. Any difference in deflection causes a difference in air pressure (pressure gradient), and because of the airfoil shape, the pressure of the deflected air is lower above the airfoil than below it. As a result the wing is “pushed” upward by the higher pressure beneath, or, you can argue, it is “sucked” upward by the lower pressure above. Source : Adapted from Pete Carpenter.

Outline

This chapter is in two parts: Polar Coordinates (Sections 9.1— 9.3) and Vectors (Sections 9.4 — 9.7). They are independent of each other and may be covered in either order.

9.1

Polar Coordinates

9.2

Polar Equations and Graphs

Sections 9.1 — 9.3: In Chapter 1, we introduced rectangular coordinates (the xy-plane) and discussed the graph of an equation in two variables involving x and y. In Sections 9.1 and 9.2, we introduce polar coordinates, an alternative to rectangular coordinates, and discuss graphing equations that involve polar coordinates. In Section 5.3, we discussed raising a real number to a real power. In Section 9.3, we extend this idea by raising a complex number to a real power. As it turns out, polar coordinates are useful for the discussion.

9.3

The Complex Plane;

Sections 9.4 — 9.7: We have seen in many chapters that we are often required to solve an equation to obtain a solution to applied problems. In the last four sections of this chapter, we develop the notion of a vector and show how it can be used to model applied problems in physics and engineering.

So far, we have always used a system of rectangular coordinates to plot points in the plane. Now we are ready to describe another system, called polar coordinates. In many instances, polar coordinates offer certain advantages over rectangular coordinates. In a rectangular coordinate system, you will recall, a point in the plane is represented by an ordered pair of numbers 1x, y2 , where x and y equal the signed distances of the point from the y-axis and the x-axis, respectively. In a polar coordinate system, we select a point, called the pole, and then a ray with vertex at the pole, called the polar axis. See Figure 1. Comparing the rectangular and polar coordinate systems, note that the origin in rectangular coordinates coincides with the pole in polar coordinates, and the positive x-axis in rectangular coordinates coincides with the polar axis in polar coordinates.

Plot Points Using Polar Coordinates A point P in a polar coordinate system is represented by an ordered pair 1r, u2 of numbers. If r 7 0, then r is the distance of the point from the pole; u is an angle (in degrees or radians) formed by the polar axis and a ray from the pole through the point. We call the ordered pair 1r, u2 the polar coordinates of the point. See Figure 2. p As an example, suppose that a point P has polar coordinates a2, b . Locate P 4 p by first drawing an angle of radian, placing its vertex at the pole and its initial side 4 along the polar axis. Then go out a distance of 2 units along the terminal side of the angle to reach the point P. See Figure 3.

In using polar coordinates 1r, u2, it is possible for r to be negative. When this happens, instead of the point being on the terminal side of u, it is on the ray from the pole extending in the direction opposite the terminal side of u at a distance 0 r 0 units from the pole. See Figure 4 for an illustration. 2p For example, to plot the point a - 3, b , use the ray in the opposite direction 3 2p of and go out 0 - 3 0 = 3 units along that ray. See Figure 5. 3

Convert from Polar Coordinates to Rectangular Coordinates Sometimes it is necessary to convert coordinates or equations in rectangular form to polar form, and vice versa. To do this, recall that the origin in rectangular coordinates is the pole in polar coordinates and that the positive x-axis in rectangular coordinates is the polar axis in polar coordinates. THEOREM  Conversion from Polar Coordinates to Rectangular Coordinates

• If r = 0, then, regardless of u, the point P is the pole, for which the rectangular coordinates are 10, 02. Formula (1) is valid for r = 0. • If r 7 0, the point P is on the terminal side of u, and r = d 1O, P2 = 2x2 + y2 . Because

this means x = r cos u

Transforming an Equation from Rectangular to Polar Form Transform the equation 4xy = 9 from rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates.

Solution

Based on Examples 5 and 6 and the Exploration to the left, we are led to the ­following results. (The proofs are left as exercises. See Problems 85–88.)

Exploration Be sure the mode of your graphing utility is set to polar coordinates and radian measure. Using a square screen, graph r1 = sin u, r2 = 2 sin u, and r3 = 3 sin u. Do you see the pattern? Clear the screen and graph r1 = - sin u, r2 = - 2 sin u, and r3 = - 3 sin u. Do you see the pattern? Clear the screen and graph r1 = cos u, r2 = 2 cos u, and r3 = 3 cos u. Do you see the pattern? Clear the screen and graph r1 = - cos u, r2 = - 2 cos u, and r3 = - 3 cos u. Do you see the pattern?

THEOREM  Suppose a is a positive real number. Then Equation Description Circle: radius a; center at 10, a2 in rectangular coordinates •  r = 2a sin u •  r = - 2a sin u Circle: radius a; center at 10, - a2 in rectangular coordinates Circle: radius a; center at 1a, 02 in rectangular coordinates •  r = 2a cos u •  r = - 2a cos u Circle: radius a; center at 1 - a, 02 in rectangular coordinates Each circle passes through the pole. Now Work   p r o b l e m 2 3 The method of converting a polar equation to an identifiable rectangular e­ quation to obtain the graph is not always helpful, nor is it always necessary. Usually, a table is created that lists several points on the graph. By checking for symmetry, it may be possible to reduce the number of points needed to draw the graph.

Test Polar Equations for Symmetry In polar coordinates, the points 1r, u2 and 1r, - u2 are symmetric with respect to the polar axis (and to the x-axis). See Figure 26(a). The points 1r, u2 and 1r, p - u2 p are symmetric with respect to the line u = (the y-axis). See Figure 26(b). The 2 points 1r, u2 and 1 - r, u2 are symmetric with respect to the pole (the origin).

The following tests are a consequence of these observations. THEOREM  Tests for Symmetry

• Symmetry with Respect to the Polar Axis (x-Axis) In a polar equation, replace u by - u. If an equivalent equation results, the graph is symmetric with respect to the polar axis. P (y-Axis) 2 In a polar equation, replace u by p - u. If an equivalent equation results, p the graph is symmetric with respect to the line u = . 2 • Symmetry with Respect to the Pole (Origin)

• Symmetry with Respect to the Line U =

In a polar equation, replace r by - r or u by u + p. If an equivalent equation results, the graph is symmetric with respect to the pole.

CHAPTER 9  Polar Coordinates; Vectors

The three tests for symmetry given on the previous page are sufficient conditions for symmetry, but they are not necessary conditions. That is, an equation may fail these tests p and still have a graph that is symmetric with respect to the polar axis, the line u = , 2 or the pole. For example, the graph of r = sin 12u2 turns out to be symmetric with p respect to the polar axis, the line u = , and the pole, but only the test for symmetry 2 with respect to the pole (replace u by u + p) works. See also Problems 93–95.

Graphing a Polar Equation (Cardioid) Graph the equation:  r = 1 - sin u

Solution

Check for symmetry first. Polar Axis: Replace u by - u. The result is r = 1 - sin 1 - u2 = 1 + sin u  sin 1 −U2 = −sin U

The test fails, so the graph may or may not be symmetric with respect to the polar axis. P The Line U = : Replace u by p - u. The result is 2

Exploration Graph r1 = 1 + sin u. Clear the screen and graph r1 = 1 - cos u. Clear the screen and graph r1 = 1 + cos u. Do you see a pattern?

r = 1 - sin 1p - u2 = 1 - 1sin p cos u - cos p sin u2 = 1 - 3 0 # cos u - 1 - 12 sin u4 = 1 - sin u p The test is satisfied, so the graph is symmetric with respect to the line u = . 2 The Pole: Replace r by - r. Then the result is - r = 1 - sin u, so r = - 1 + sin u. The test fails. Replace u by u + p. The result is r = 1 - sin(u + p) = 1 - 3 sin u cos p + cos u sin p4 = 1 - 3 sin u # ( - 1) + cos u # 04 = 1 + sin u This test also fails, so the graph may or may not be symmetric with respect to the pole. Next, identify points on the graph by assigning values to the angle u and calculating the corresponding values of r. Due to the periodicity of the sine function p p and the symmetry with respect to the line u = , just assign values to u from 2 2 p to , as given in Table 1. 2 Now plot the points 1r, u2 from Table 1 and trace out the graph, beginning at p p the point a2, - b and ending at the point a0, b . Then reflect this portion of the 2 2 p graph about the line u = (the y-axis) to obtain the complete graph. See Figure 27. 2 y – u 5p 2 – u 5p 4

Because a = b = 2, the graph of this polar equation is a cardioid. The period of sin u is 2p, so form a table using 0 … u … 2p, compute r, plot the points 1r, u2, and sketch the graph of a cardioid as u varies from 0 to 2p. See Table 8 and Figure 33. y

SECTION 9.2  Polar Equations and Graphs

Calculus Comment For those of you planning to study calculus, a comment about one important role of polar equations is in order. In rectangular coordinates, the equation x2 + y2 = 1, whose graph is the unit circle, is not the graph of a function. In fact, it requires two functions to obtain the graph of the unit circle: y1 = 21 - x2  Upper semicircle   y2 = - 21 - x2  Lower semicircle

In polar coordinates, the equation r = 1, whose graph is also the unit circle, does define a function. For each choice of u, there is only one corresponding value of r, that is, r = 1. Since many problems in calculus require the use of functions, the opportunity to express nonfunctions in rectangular coordinates as functions in polar coordinates becomes extremely useful. Note also that the vertical-line test for functions is valid only for equations in rectangular coordinates.

Historical Feature

P

Jakob Bernoulli (1654–1705)

olar coordinates seem to have been invented by Jakob Bernoulli (1654 —­ 1705) in about 1691, although, as with most such ideas, earlier traces of the notion exist. Early users of calculus remained committed to rectangular coordinates, and polar coordinates did not become widely used until the early 1800s. Even then, it was mostly geometers

who used them for describing odd curves. Finally, about the mid-1800s, applied mathematicians realized the tremendous simplification that polar coordinates make possible in the description of objects with circular or cylindrical symmetry. From then on, their use became widespread.

9.2  Assess Your Understanding ‘Are You Prepared?’  Answers are given at the end of these exercises. If you get a wrong answer, read the pages listed in red. 1. If the rectangular coordinates of a point are 14, - 62, the point symmetric to it with respect to the origin is

3. The standard equation of a circle with center at 1 - 2, 52 and radius 3 is  . (pp. 35–39)

Concepts and Vocabulary

7. An equation whose variables are polar coordinates is called a(n)  . 8. True or False The tests for symmetry in polar coordinates are always conclusive. 9. To test whether the graph of a polar equation may be  . symmetric with respect to the polar axis, replace u by 10. To test whether the graph of a polar equation may be p  . symmetric with respect to the line u = , replace u by 2 11. Rose curves are characterized by equations of the form r = a cos 1n u2 or r = a sin 1n u2, a ≠ 0. If n ≠ 0 is even, the rose has petals; if n ≠ {1 is odd, the rose has petals.

Skill Building

12. True or False A cardioid passes through the pole. 13. Multiple Choice For a positive real number a, which polar equation is a circle with radius a and center 1a, 02 in rectangular coordinates? (a) r = 2a sin u (c) r = 2a cos u (b) r = - 2a sin u (d) r = - 2a cos u 14. Multiple Choice In polar coordinates, the points 1r, u2 and 1 - r, u2 are symmetric with respect to which of the following? (a) the polar axis (or x-axis) (b)  the pole (or origin) p p (c) the line u = (or y-axis) (d) the line u = 2 4 1or y = x2

Complex numbers are discussed in Appendix A, Section A.7. In that discussion, we were not prepared to give a geometric interpretation of a complex number. Now we are ready. A complex number z = x + yi can be interpreted geometrically as the point 1x, y2 in the xy-plane. Each point in the plane corresponds to a complex number, and conversely, each complex number corresponds to a point in the plane. The collection of such points is referred to as the complex plane. The x-axis is referred to as the real axis, because any point that lies on the real axis is of the form z = x + 0i = x, a real number. The y-axis is called the imaginary axis, because any point that lies on the imaginary axis is of the form z = 0 + yi = yi, a pure imaginary number. See Figure 34.

Suppose z = x + yi is a complex number. The magnitude or modulus of z, denoted 0 z 0 , is the distance from the origin to the point 1x, y2 . That is,

0 z 0 = 2x2 + y2 (1)

See Figure 36 for an illustration. This definition for 0 z 0 is consistent with the definition for the absolute value of a real number: If z = x + yi is a real number then z = x + 0i and

0 z 0 = 2x2 + 02 = 2x2 = 0 x 0

For this reason, the magnitude of z is sometimes called the absolute value of z. Recall that if z = x + yi, then its conjugate, denoted z, is z = x - yi. Because zz = x2 + y2 is a nonnegative real number, it follows from equation (1) that the magnitude of z can be written as



0 z 0 = 2zz (2)

Convert a Complex Number between Rectangular Form and Polar Form or Exponential Form When a complex number is written in the standard form z = x + yi, it is in ­rectangular, or Cartesian, form, because 1x, y2 are the rectangular coordinates of the corresponding point in the complex plane. Suppose that 1r, u2 are polar coordinates of this point. Then x = r cos u

y = r sin u

See Figure 37. If z = r 1cos u + i sin u2 is the polar form of a complex number,* the angle u, 0 … u 6 2p, is called the argument of z. *Some texts abbreviate the polar form using z = r 1cos u + i sin u2 = r cis u.

CHAPTER 9  Polar Coordinates; Vectors

Also, because r Ú 0, we have r = 2x2 + y2 . From equation (1), it follows that the magnitude of z = r 1cos u + i sin u2 is

0z0 = r

Need to Review? The number e is defined in Section 5.3, p. 287.

Leonhard Euler (1707–1783) established a relationship, known as Euler’s ­Formula, between complex numbers and the number e. THEOREM  Euler’s Formula For any real number u, e i u = cos u + i sin u The proof of Euler’s Formula requires mathematics beyond the level of this text, so it is not included here. Euler’s Formula allows us to write the polar form of a complex number using exponential notation.



r 1cos u + i sin u2 = re i u (4)

When a complex number is written in the form z = re i u, it is said to be written in exponential form. Note in Euler’s Formula that u is a real number. That is, u is in radians.

E XAM PLE 2 Solution

Writing a Complex Number in Polar Form and in Exponential Form Write z = 23 - i in polar form and in exponential form.

Because x = 23 and y = - 1, it follows that

r = 2x2 + y2 = 3 1 23 2 + 1 - 12 2 = 24 = 2 2

so

cos u =

sin u =

The angle u, 0 … u 6 2p, that satisfies both equations is u = and r = 2, the polar form of z = 23 - i is z = r 1cos u + i sin u2 = 2acos

The exponential form of z = 23 - i is

3 Find Products and Quotients of Complex Numbers The exponential form of a complex number is particularly useful for finding products and quotients of complex numbers. The following theorem states that the laws of exponents can be used.

Need to Review? The Laws of Exponents are discussed in Section A.1, pp. A7–A9.

THEOREM  Suppose z1 = r1e i u1 and z2 = r2e i u2 are two complex numbers. Then z1z2 = r1e i u1 # r2e i u2 = r1r2e i1u1 + u22 (5)

If z2 ≠ 0, then

z1 r 1e i u 1 r1 i1u1 - u22 = = e (6) i u2 z2 r2 r 2e

= r1 1cos u1 + i sin u1 2 # r2 1cos u2 + i sin u2 2 = r1r2 1cos u1 + i sin u1 2 1cos u2 + i sin u2 2

You are asked to prove this theorem in Problem 71.

4 Use De Moivre’s Theorem We have seen that the four fundamental operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division can be performed with complex numbers. De Moivre’s Theorem, stated by Abraham De Moivre (1667–1754) in 1730, but already known to many people by 1710, is important because it allows the last two fundamental algebraic operations, raising to a power and extracting roots, to be used with complex numbers. De Moivre’s Theorem, in its most basic form, is a formula for raising a complex number z to the power n, where n Ú 1 is an integer. Suppose z = re i u is a complex number. Then n = 2: z2 = 1re i u 22 = re i u # re i u = r 2e i12u2 3

Do you see the pattern? When written in exponential form, rules for exponents can be used to raise a complex number to a positive integer power. THEOREM  De Moivre’s Theorem If z = re i u is a complex number, then zn = r ne i1nu2 where n Ú 1 is an integer. The proof of De Moivre’s Theorem requires mathematical induction (which is not discussed until Section 12.4), so it is omitted here. The theorem is actually true for all integers n. You are asked to prove this in Problem 73.

5 Find Complex Roots Suppose w is a complex number, and n Ú 2 is a positive integer. Any complex number z that satisfies the equation zn = w is a complex nth root of w. In keeping with previous usage, if n = 2, the solutions of the equation z2 = w are called complex square roots of w, and if n = 3, the solutions of the equation z3 = w are called complex cube roots of w. THEOREM  Finding Complex Roots Suppose w = re i u is a complex number and n Ú 2 is an integer. If w ≠ 0, there are n distinct complex roots of w, given by the formula

where k = 0, 1, 2, c , n - 1.

Proof (Outline) We do not prove this result in its entirety. Instead, we show only that each zk in formula (7) satisfies the equation znk = w, proving that each zk is a complex nth root of w. n

So each zk , k = 0, 1, c , n - 1, is a complex nth root of w. To complete the proof, we need to show that each zk , k = 0, 1, c , n - 1, is, in fact, distinct and that there ■ are no complex nth roots of w other than those given by formula (7).

Historical Feature

T

he Babylonians, Greeks, and Arabs considered square roots of negative quantities to be impossible and equations with complex solutions to be unsolvable. The first hint that there was some connection between real solutions of equations and complex numbers came when Girolamo Cardano (1501—1576) and Tartaglia (1499—1557) found real roots of cubic equations by taking cube roots of complex quantities. For centuries thereafter,

John Wallis

mathematicians worked with complex numbers without much belief in their actual existence. In 1673, John Wallis appears to have been the first to suggest the graphical representation of complex numbers, a truly significant idea that was not pursued further until about 1800. Several people, including Karl Friedrich Gauss (1777—1855), then rediscovered the idea, and graphical representation helped to establish complex numbers as equal members of the number family. In practical applications, complex numbers have found their greatest uses in the study of alternating current, where they are a commonplace tool, and in the field of subatomic physics.

In simple terms, a vector (derived from the Latin vehere, meaning “to carry”) is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is customary to represent a vector by using an arrow. The length of the arrow represents the magnitude of the vector, and the arrowhead indicates the direction of the vector. Many quantities in physics can be represented by vectors. For example, the velocity of an aircraft can be represented by an arrow that points in the direction of movement; the length of the arrow represents the speed. If the aircraft speeds up, we lengthen the arrow; if the aircraft changes direction, we introduce an arrow in the new direction. See Figure 40. Based on this representation, it is not surprising that vectors and directed line segments are somehow related. Figure 40 

Geometric Vectors If P and Q are two distinct points in the xy-plane, there is exactly one line containing both P and Q [Figure 41(a)]. The points on that part of the line that joins P to Q, including P and Q, form what is called the line segment PQ [ Figure 41(b) ]. Ordering the points so that they proceed from P to Q results in a directed line segment from P > > to Q, or a geometric vector, denoted by PQ . In a directed line segment PQ , P is called the initial point and Q the terminal point, as indicated in Figure 41(c).

The vector v whose magnitude is 0 is called the zero vector, 0. The zero vector is assigned no direction. Two vectors v and w are equal, written v = w if they have the same magnitude and the same direction. For example, the three vectors shown in Figure 42 have the same magnitude and the same direction, so they are equal, even though they have different initial points and different terminal points. As a result, it is useful to think of a vector simply as an arrow, keeping in mind that two arrows (vectors) are equal if they have the same direction and the same magnitude (length).

Adding Vectors Geometrically The sum v + w of two vectors is defined as follows: Position the vectors v and w so that the terminal point of v coincides with the initial point of w, as shown in Figure 43. The vector v + w is then the unique vector whose initial point coincides with the initial point of v and whose terminal point coincides with the terminal point of w. Vector addition is commutative. That is, if v and w are any two vectors, then

v v 1 w w w 1 v

w

>

The magnitude of the directed line segment PQ is the distance from the>point P to the point Q; that is, it is the length of the line segment. The direction of PQ is from P to Q. If a vector > v has the same magnitude and the same direction as the directed line segment PQ , then

v + w = w + v

v

Figure 44  v + w = w + v

Figure 44 illustrates this fact. (Observe that the commutative property is another way of saying that opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal and parallel.) Vector addition is also associative. That is, if u, v, and w are vectors, then

v1w u

Figure 45 illustrates the associative property for vectors.

The zero vector 0 has the property that v + 0 = 0 + v = v for any vector v.

If v is a vector, then - v is the vector that has the same magnitude as v, but whose direction is opposite to v, as shown in Figure 46. Furthermore, v + 1 - v2 = 0

Figure 47  v - w = v + 1 - w2

If v and w are two vectors, then the difference v - w is defined as v - w = v + 1 - w2

Multiplying Vectors by Numbers Geometrically When using vectors, real numbers are referred to as scalars. Scalars are quantities that have only magnitude. Examples of scalar quantities from physics are temperature, speed, and time. We now define how to multiply a vector by a scalar.

DEFINITION  Scalar Multiple If a is a scalar and v is a vector, the scalar multiple av is defined as follows:

• If a 7 0, av is the vector whose magnitude is a times the magnitude of v and

whose direction is the same as that of v. • If a 6 0, av is the vector whose magnitude is 0 a 0 times the magnitude of v and whose direction is opposite that of v. • If a = 0 or if v = 0, then av = 0. 2v 21v

Figure 48  Scalar multiples

See Figure 48 for some illustrations. For example, if a is the acceleration of an object of mass m due to a force F being exerted on it, then, by Newton’s second law of motion, F = ma. Here, ma is the ­product of the scalar m and the vector a. Scalar multiples have the following properties:

•  0v = 0  • 1v = v  • - 1v = - v • 1a + b2v = av + bv  • a1v + w2 = av + aw • a1bv2 = 1ab2v

CHAPTER 9  Polar Coordinates; Vectors

Magnitude of Vectors The symbol 7 v 7 represents the magnitude of a vector v. Since 7 v 7 equals the length of a directed line segment, it follows that 7 v 7 has the following properties: THEOREM  Properties of the Magnitude 7 v 7 of a Vector v If v is a vector and if a is a scalar, then 7 v 7 = 0 if and only if v = 0 (a)  7 v 7 Ú 0 (b)  (c)  7 - v 7 = 7 v 7 (d)  7 av 7 = 0 a 0 7 v 7

Property (a) is a consequence of the fact that distance is a nonnegative> number. Property (b) follows because the length of the directed line segment PQ is positive unless P and Q are the same point, in which case the length is 0. Property (c) follows because the length of the line segment PQ equals the length of the line segment QP. Property (d) is a direct consequence of the definition of a scalar multiple.

DEFINITION  Unit Vector A vector u for which 7 u 7 = 1 is called a unit vector.

Find a Position Vector To find the magnitude and direction of a vector, an algebraic way of representing vectors is needed.

DEFINITION  Algebraic Vector An algebraic vector v is represented as v = 8a, b9

where a and b are real numbers (scalars) called the components of the vector v.

A rectangular coordinate system is used to represent algebraic vectors in the plane. If v = 8 a, b9 is an algebraic vector whose initial point is at the origin, then v is called a position vector. See Figure 51. Notice that the terminal point of the position vector v = 8 a, b9 is the point P = 1a, b2. The next theorem states that any vector whose initial point is not at the origin is equal to a unique position vector.

THEOREM  Suppose that v is a vector with initial point P1 = 1x1 , y1 2, not necessarily the > origin, and terminal point P2 = 1x2 , y2 2. If v = P1 P2 , then v is equal to the position vector

v = 8x2 - x1 , y2 - y1 9 (1)

Triangle OPA and triangle P1P2Q are congruent. [Do you see why? The line segments have the same magnitude, so d 1O, P2 = d 1P1 , P2 2; and they have the same direction, so ∠POA = ∠P2 P1Q. Since the triangles are right triangles, we have angle–side–angle.] It follows that corresponding sides are equal. As a result, x2 - x1 = a and y2 - y1 = b, so v may be written as v = 8a, b9 = 8x2 - x1 , y2 - y1 9

Because of this result, any algebraic vector can be replaced by a unique position vector, and vice versa. This flexibility is one of the main reasons for the wide use of vectors.

Two position vectors v and w are equal if and only if the terminal point of v is the same as the terminal point of w. This leads to the following theorem: x

THEOREM  Equality of Vectors

Two vectors v and w are equal if and only if their corresponding components are equal. That is, If v = 8a1 , b1 9 and w = 8a2 , b2 9 then v = w if and only if a1 = a2 and b1 = b2 . y

We now present an alternative representation of a vector in the plane that is c­ ommon in the physical sciences. Let i denote the unit vector whose direction is along the positive x-axis; let j denote the unit vector whose direction is along the positive y-axis. Then i = 81, 09 and j = 80, 19, as shown in Figure 54. Any vector v = 8a, b 9 can be written using the unit vectors i and j as follows:

6 Find a Vector from Its Direction and Magnitude If a vector represents the speed and direction of an object, it is called a velocity ­vector. If a vector represents the direction and amount of a force acting on an object, it is called a force vector. In many applications, a vector is described in terms of its magnitude and direction, rather than in terms of its components. For example, a ball thrown with an initial speed of 25 miles per hour at an angle of 30° to the horizontal is a velocity vector. Suppose that we are given the magnitude ‘v‘ of a nonzero vector v and the ­direction angle a, 0° … a 6 360°, between v and i. To express v in terms of ‘v‘ and a, first find the unit vector u having the same direction as v. Look at Figure 56. The coordinates of the terminal point of u are 1cos a, sin a2 . Then u = cos a i + sin a j and, from equation (7),

Because forces can be represented by vectors, two forces “combine” the way that ­vectors “add.” If F1 and F2 are two forces simultaneously acting on an object, the ­vector sum F1 + F2 is the resultant force. The resultant force produces the same effect on the object as that obtained when the two forces F1 and F2 act on the object. See Figure 59.

Finding the Weight of a Piano Two movers require a force of magnitude 300 pounds to push a piano up a ramp inclined at an angle of 20° from the horizontal. How much does the piano weigh?

Solution

Let F1 represent the force of gravity, F2 represent the force required to move the piano up the ramp, and F3 represent the force of the piano against the ramp. See Figure 61. The angle between the ground and the ramp is the same as the angle between F1 and F3 because triangles ABC and BDE are similar, so ∠BAC = ∠DBE = 20°.

Historical Feature

T

he history of vectors is surprisingly complicated for such a natural concept. In the xy-plane, complex numbers do a good job of imitating vectors. About 1840, mathematicians became interested in finding a system that would do for three dimensions what the complex numbers do for two dimensions. Hermann Grassmann (1809—1877), in Germany, Josiah Gibbs and William Rowan Hamilton (1805—1865), in (1839–1903) Ireland, both attempted to find solutions. Hamilton’s system was the quaternions, which are best thought of as a real number plus a vector; they do for four dimensions what complex numbers do for two dimensions. In this system the order of multiplication matters; that is, ab ≠ ba. Also, two products of vectors

emerged, the scalar product (or dot product) and the vector product (or cross product). Grassmann’s abstract style, although easily read today, was almost impenetrable during the nineteenth century, and only a few of his ideas were appreciated. Among those few were the same scalar and vector products that Hamilton had found. About 1880, the American physicist Josiah Willard Gibbs (1839—1903) worked out an algebra involving only the simplest concepts: the vectors and the two products. He then added some calculus, and the resulting system was simple, flexible, and well adapted to expressing a large number of physical laws. This system remains in use essentially unchanged. Hamilton’s and Grassmann’s more extensive systems each gave birth to much interesting mathematics, but little of it is seen at elementary levels.

Find the Dot Product of Two Vectors In Section 9.4, we defined the product of a scalar and a vector. Here we define the product of two vectors, called a dot product. DEFINITION  Dot Product

If v = a1 i + b1 j and w = a2 i + b2 j are two vectors, the dot product v # w is defined as v # w = a1a2 + b1 b2 (1)

Since the dot product v # w of two vectors v and w is a real number (a scalar), the dot product is sometimes referred to as the scalar product. The results obtained in Example 1 suggest some general properties of the dot product. THEOREM  Properties of the Dot Product If u, v, and w are vectors, then Commutative Property u # v = v # u (2)

Proof We prove properties (2) and (4) here and leave properties (3) and (5) as exercises (see Problems 38 and 39). To prove property (2), let u = a1 i + b1 j and v = a2i + b2 j. Then u # v = a1 a2 + b1 b2 = a2 a1 + b2 b1 = v # u

To prove property (4), let v = ai + bj. Then

Find the Angle between Two Vectors

u2v

One use of the dot product is to find the angle between two vectors. Let u and v be two vectors with the same initial point A. Then the vectors u, v, and u - v form a triangle. See Figure 64. The angle u at vertex A of the triangle is the angle between the vectors u and v. We wish to find a formula for calculating the angle u. The sides of the triangle have lengths 7 v 7 , 7 u 7 , and 7 u - v 7 , and u is the included angle between the sides of length 7 v 7 and 7 u 7 . The Law of Cosines (Section 8.3) can be used to find the cosine of the included angle.

7 u - v 7 2 = 7 u 7 2 + 7 v 7 2 - 2 7 u 7 7 v 7 cos u

Now use property (4) to rewrite this equation in terms of dot products.

1u - v2 # 1u - v2 = u # u + v # v - 2 7 u 7 7 v 7 cos u (6)

Then use the distributive property (3) twice on the left side of (6) to obtain 1u - v2 # 1u - v2 = u # 1u - v2 - v # 1u - v2 = u#u - u#v - v#u + v#v (7) = u#u + v#v - 2u#v

3 Determine Whether Two Vectors Are Parallel Two vectors v and w are said to be parallel if there is a nonzero scalar a so that v = aw. In this case, the angle u between v and w is 0 or p.

E XAM PLE 3

Determining Whether Two Vectors Are Parallel

1 The vectors v = 3i - j and w = 6i - 2j are parallel, since v = w. Furthermore, 2 since v#w 18 + 2 20 cos u = = = = 1 7v7 7w7 210 240 2400 the angle u between v and w is 0.

4 Determine Whether Two Vectors Are Orthogonal v

Figure 66  v is orthogonal to w.

NOTE  Orthogonal, perpendicular, and normal are all terms that mean “meet at a right angle.” It is customary to refer to two vectors as being orthogonal, to two lines as being perpendicular, and to a line and a plane or a vector and a plane as being normal. j

p If the angle u between two nonzero vectors v and w is , the vectors v and w are 2 called orthogonal. See Figure 66. p Since cos = 0, it follows from formula (8) that if the vectors v and w are 2 orthogonal, then v # w = 0. On the other hand, if v # w = 0, then v = 0 or w = 0 or cos u = 0. If cos u = 0, p then u = , and v and w are orthogonal. If v or w is the zero vector, then, since the 2 zero vector has no specific direction, we adopt the convention that the zero vector is orthogonal to every vector. THEOREM  Two vectors v and w are orthogonal if and only if v#w = 0

In many physical applications, it is necessary to find “how much” of a vector is applied in a given direction. Look at Figure 68. The force F due to gravity is pulling straight down (toward the center of Earth) on the block. To study the effect of gravity on the block, it is necessary to determine how much of F is actually pushing the block down the incline 1F1 2 and how much is pressing the block against the incline 1F2 2, at a right angle to the incline. Knowing the decomposition of F often enables us to determine when friction (the force holding the block in place on the incline) is overcome and the block will slide down the incline.

Suppose that v and w are two nonzero, nonorthogonal vectors with the same initial point P. We seek to decompose v into two vectors: v1 , which is parallel to w, and v2 , which is orthogonal to w. See Figure 69(a) and (b). The vector v1 is called the vector projection of v onto w. The vector v1 is obtained by dropping a perpendicular from the terminal point of v to the line containing w. The vector v1 is the vector from P to the intersection of the line containing w and the perpendicular. The vector v2 is given by v2 = v - v1 . Note that v = v1 + v2 , the vector v1 is parallel to w, and the vector v2 is orthogonal to w. This is the decomposition of v that was sought. Now we seek a formula for v1 that is based on a knowledge of the vectors v and w. Since v = v1 + v2 , we have v # w = 1v1 + v2 2 # w = v1 # w + v2 # w (9)



Figure 69 

627

Since v2 is orthogonal to w, we have v2 # w = 0. Since v1 is parallel to w, we have v1 = aw for some scalar a. Equation (9) can be written as v # w = aw # w = a 7 w 7 2  v1 = Aw; v2 # w = 0 v#w a = 7w72

Then

v1 = aw =

Finding the Force Required to Hold a Wagon on a Hill A wagon with two small children as occupants weighs 100 pounds and is on a hill with a grade of 20°. What is the magnitude of the force that is required to keep the wagon from rolling down the hill?

628 

CHAPTER 9  Polar Coordinates; Vectors

Solution

See Figure 71. We need to find the magnitude of the force v that would cause the wagon to roll down the hill. A force with the same magnitude in the opposite direction of v will keep the wagon from rolling down the hill. The force of gravity is orthogonal to the level ground, so the force of the wagon due to gravity can be represented by the vector Fg = - 100j

Determine the vector projection of Fg onto w, which is the force parallel to the hill. The vector w is given by

Work is commonly measured in foot-pounds or in newton-meters (joules). In this definition, it is assumed that the force F is applied along the line of motion. If the constant force F is not along the line of motion, but instead is at an angle u to the direction of the motion, as illustrated in Figure 72, then the work W done by F in moving an object from A to B is defined as

e stated in the Historical Feature in Section 9.4 that complex numbers were used as vectors in the plane before the general notion of a vector was clarified. Suppose that we make the correspondence Vector 4 Complex number a i + b j 4 a + bi c i + d j 4 c + di

Show that (a i + b j ) # (c i + d j ) = real part 3 (a + bi )(c + di )4

This is how the dot product was found originally. The imaginary part is also interesting. It is a determinant (see Section 11.3) and represents the area of the parallelogram whose edges are the vectors. This is close to some of Hermann Grassmann’s ideas and is also connected with the scalar triple product of three-dimensional vectors.

CHAPTER 9  Polar Coordinates; Vectors

Rectangular Coordinates in Space In the plane, each point is associated with an ordered pair of real numbers. In space, each point is associated with an ordered triple of real numbers. Through a fixed point, called the origin O, draw three mutually perpendicular lines: the x-axis, the y-axis, and the z-axis. On each of these axes, select an appropriate scale and the positive direction. See Figure 74. The direction chosen for the positive z-axis in Figure 74 makes the system right-handed. This conforms to the right-hand rule, which states that if the index finger of the right hand points in the direction of the positive x-axis and the middle finger points in the direction of the positive y-axis, then the thumb will point in the direction of the positive z-axis.

Associate with each point P an ordered triple 1x, y, z2 of real numbers, the coordinates of P. For example, the point 12, 3, 42 is located by starting at the origin and moving 2 units along the positive x-axis, 3 units in the direction of the positive y-axis, and 4 units in the direction of the positive z-axis. See Figure 76. Figure 76 also shows the location of the points 12, 0, 02, 10, 3, 02, 10, 0, 42, and 12, 3, 02 . Points of the form 1x, 0, 02 lie on the x-axis, and points of the forms 10, y, 02 and 10, 0, z2 lie on the y-axis and z-axis, respectively. Points of the form 1x, y, 02 lie in a plane called the xy-plane. Its equation is z = 0. Similarly, points of the form 1x, 0, z2 lie in the xz-plane (equation y = 0), and points of the form 10, y, z2 lie in the yz-plane (equation x = 0). See Figure 77(a). By extension of these ideas, all points obeying the equation z = 3 will lie in a plane parallel to and 3 units above the xy-plane. The equation y = 4 represents a plane parallel to the xz-plane and 4 units to the right of the plane y = 0. See Figure 77(b). z

THEOREM  Distance Formula in Space If P1 = 1x1, y1, z1 2 and P2 = 1x2, y2, z2 2 are two points in space, the distance d from P1 to P2 is d = 2 1x2 - x1 2 2 + 1y2 - y1 2 2 + 1z2 - z1 2 2 (1)

Find Position Vectors in Space To represent vectors in space, we introduce the unit vectors i, j, and k whose directions are along the positive x-axis, the positive y-axis, and the positive z-axis, respectively. If v is a vector with initial point at the origin O and terminal point at P = 1a, b, c2, then we can represent v in terms of the vectors i, j, and k as

P 5 (a, b, c) O i

v = ai + bj + ck

Figure 78

See Figure 78. The scalars a, b, and c are called the components of the vector v = ai + bj + ck, with a being the component in the direction i, b the component in the direction j, and c the component in the direction k. A vector whose initial point is at the origin is called a position vector. The next result states that any vector whose initial point is not at the origin is equal to a unique position vector. THEOREM  Suppose that v is a vector with initial point P1 = 1x1, y1, z1 2, not necessarily > the origin, and terminal point P2 = 1x2, y2, z2 2. If v = P1P2 , then v is equal to the position vector v = 1x2 - x1 2i + 1y2 - y1 2j + 1z2 - z1 2k (2)

THEOREM  Property of the Direction Cosines If a, b, and g are the direction angles of a nonzero vector v in space, then

cos2 a + cos2 b + cos2 g = 1 (6)

Know Algebraic Properties of the Cross Product Notice in Examples 3(a) and (b) that v * w and w * v are negatives of one another. From Examples 3(c) and (d), one might conjecture that the cross product of a vector with itself is the zero vector. These and other algebraic properties of the cross product are given next.

THEOREM  Algebraic Properties of the Cross Product If u, v, and w are vectors in space and if a is a scalar, then

•  u * u = 0(2) •  u * v = - 1v * u2(3) •  a1u * v2 = 1au2 * v = u * 1av2(4) •  u * 1v + w2 = 1u * v2 + 1u * w2(5) Proof  We will prove properties (2) and (4) here and leave properties (3) and (5) as exercises (see Problems 60 and 61). To prove property (2), let u = a1 i + b1 j + c1 k. Then i u * u = 3 a1 a1

j b1 b1

k b c1 3 = ` 1 b1 c1

c1 a `i - ` 1 c1 a1

c1 a `j + ` 1 c1 a1

= 0i - 0j + 0k = 0

b1 `k b1

To prove property (4), let u = a1 i + b1 j + c1 k and v = a2 i + b2 j + c2 k. Then a1u * v2 = a 3 1b1 c2 - b2 c1 2i - 1a1 c2 - a2 c1 2j + 1a1 b2 - a2 b1 2k 4 c

Apply (1).

= a 1b1 c2 - b2 c1 2i - a1a1 c2 - a2 c1 2j + a1a1 b2 - a2 b1 2k(6)

Since au = aa1 i + ab1 j + ac1 k, we have

1au2 * v = 1ab1 c2 - b2ac1 2i - 1aa1 c2 - a2ac1 2j + 1aa1 b2 - a2ab1 2k

= a 1b1 c2 - b2 c1 2i - a1a1 c2 - a2 c1 2j + a1a1 b2 - a2 b1 2k(7)

Based on equations (6) and (7), the first part of property (4) follows. The second part can be proved in like fashion. ■ Now Work   p r o b l e m 1 7

•  u * v is orthogonal to both u and v.(8) •  7 u * v 7 = 7 u 7 7 v 7 sin u,(9) where u is the angle between u and v.

•  7 u * v 7 is the area of the parallelogram having u ≠ 0 and v ≠ 0 as adjacent sides.(10) •  u * v = 0 if and only if u and v are parallel.(11)

CHAPTER 9  Polar Coordinates; Vectors

Proof of Property (8)  Let u = a1 i + b1 j + c1 k and v = a2 i + b2 j + c2 k. Then u

u * v = 1b1 c2 - b2 c1 2i - 1a1 c2 - a2 c1 2j + 1a1 b2 - a2 b1 2k

Now compute the dot product u ~ 1u * v2.

u ~ 1u * v2 = 1a1 i + b1 j + c1 k2 # 3 1b1 c2 - b2 c1 2i - 1a1 c2 - a2 c1 2j + 1a1 b2 - a2 b1 2k 4

v

= a1 1b1 c2 - b2 c1 2 - b1 1a1 c2 - a2 c1 2 + c1 1a1 b2 - a2 b1 2 = 0

Since two vectors are orthogonal if their dot product is zero, it follows that u and u * v are orthogonal. Similarly, v ~ 1u * v2 = 0, so v and u * v are orthogonal. ■

Figure 81

4 Find a Vector Orthogonal to Two Given Vectors As long as the vectors u and v are not parallel, they will form a plane in space. See Figure 81. Based on property (8), the vector u * v is normal to this plane. As Figure 81 illustrates, there are essentially (without regard to magnitude) two vectors normal to the plane containing u and v. It can be shown that the vector u * v is the one determined by the thumb of the right hand when the other fingers of the right hand are cupped so that they point in a direction from u to v. See Figure 82.*

Finding a Vector Orthogonal to Two Given Vectors Find a vector that is orthogonal to u = 3i - 2j + k and v = - i + 3j - k.

k 1 3 = 12 - 32i - 3 - 3 - 1 - 12 4 j + 19 - 22k = - i + 2j + 7k -1

The vector - i + 2j + 7k is orthogonal to both u and v. Check: Two vectors are orthogonal if their dot product is zero. u ~ 1 - i + 2j + 7k2 = 13i - 2j + k2 ~ 1 - i + 2j + 7k2 = - 3 - 4 + 7 = 0 v ~ 1 - i + 2j + 7k2 = 1 - i + 3j - k2 ~ 1 - i + 2j + 7k2 = 1 + 6 - 7 = 0 Now Work   p r o b l e m 4 1

The proof of property (9) is left as an exercise. See Problem 62.

5 Find the Area of a Parallelogram Proof of Property (10)  Suppose that u and v are adjacent sides of a parallelogram. See Figure 83. Then the lengths of these sides are 7 u 7 and 7 v 7 . If u is the angle between u and v, then the height of the parallelogram is 7 v 7 sin u and its area is

Finding the Area of a Parallelogram Find the area of the parallelogram whose vertices are P1 = 10, 0, 02, P2 = 13, - 2, 12, P3 = 1 - 1, 3, - 12, and P4 = 12, 1, 02. *This is a consequence of using a “right-handed” coordinate system.

SECTION 9.7  The Cross Product 

Solution

Two adjacent sides of this parallelogram are

u = P1 P2 = 3i - 2j + k and v = P1 P3 = - i + 3j - k WARNING  Not all pairs of vertices > give rise to a side. For example, P1P4 is a diagonal > >of the parallelogram > > since> P1P3 + P3P4 = P1P4 . Also, P1P3 and P2P4 are not adjacent sides; they are parallel sides. j

Since u * v = - i + 2j + 7k (Example 4), the area of the parallelogram is Area of parallelogram = 7 u * v 7 = 21 + 4 + 49 = 254 = 326 square units Now Work   p r o b l e m 4 9

Proof of Property (11)  The proof requires two parts. If u and v are parallel, then there is a scalar a such that u = av. Then u * v = 1av2 * v = a1v * v2 = 0 c

c

Property (4) 

Property (2)

If u * v = 0, then, by property (9), we have

7 u * v 7 = 7 u 7 7 v 7 sin u = 0

Since u ≠ 0 and v ≠ 0, we must have sin u = 0, so u = 0 or u = p. In either case, ■ since u is the angle between u and v, then u and v are parallel.

9.7  Assess Your Understanding Concepts and Vocabulary 1. True or False  If u and v are parallel vectors, then u * v = 0. 2. True or False  For any vector v, v * v = 0. 3. True or False  If u and v are vectors, then u * v + v * u = 0. 4. True or False  u * v is a vector that is parallel to both u and v.

5. True or False  7 u * v 7 = 7 u 7 7 v 7 cos u, where u is the angle between u and v.

I. Modeling Aircraft Motion  Four aerodynamic forces act on an airplane in flight: lift, weight, thrust, and drag. While an aircraft is in flight, these four forces continuously battle each other. Weight opposes lift, and drag opposes thrust. See the diagram below. In balanced flight at constant speed, the lift and weight are equal, and the thrust and drag are equal. 1. What will happen to the aircraft if the lift is held constant while the weight is decreased (say, from burning off fuel)? 2. What will happen to the aircraft if the lift is decreased while the weight is held constant? 3. What will happen to the aircraft if the thrust is increased while the drag is held constant?

In 1903 the Wright brothers made the first controlled powered flight. The weight of their plane was approximately 700 pounds (lb). Newton’s Second Law of Motion states that force = mass * acceleration 1F = ma2. If the mass is measured in kilograms (kg) and acceleration in meters per second squared (m/s2), then the force will be measured in newtons (N). 3Note: 1 N = 1 kg # m/s2.4

5. If 1 kg = 2.205 lb, convert the weight of the Wright brothers’ plane to kilograms. 6. If acceleration due to gravity is a = 9.80 m/s2, determine the force due to weight on the Wright brothers’ plane. 7. What must be true about the lift force of the Wright brothers’ plane for it to get off the ground? 8. The weight of a fully loaded Cessna 172P is 2400 lb.

A Look Back In Chapter 1, we introduced rectangular coordinates and showed how geometry problems can be solved algebraically. We defined a circle geometrically and then used the distance formula and rectangular coordinates to obtain an equation for a circle.

A Look Ahead In this chapter, geometric definitions are given for the conics, and the distance formula and rectangular coordinates are used to obtain their equations. Historically, Apollonius (200 bc) was among the first to study conics and discover some of their interesting properties. Today, conics are still studied because of their many uses. Paraboloids of revolution (parabolas rotated about their axes of symmetry) are used as signal collectors (the satellite dishes used with radar and dish TV, for example), as solar energy collectors, and as reflectors (telescopes, light projection, and so on). The planets circle the Sun in approximately elliptical orbits. Elliptical surfaces are used to reflect signals such as light and sound from one place to another. A third conic, the hyperbola, is used to determine the location of ships or sound sources, such as lightning strikes. The Greeks used Euclidean geometry to study conics. However, we use the more powerful methods of analytic geometry, which uses both algebra and geometry, for our study of conics. In Section 10.7, we introduce parametric equations, which allow us to represent graphs of curves that are not the graph of a function, such as a circle.

Figure 1  Right circular cone

The word conic derives from the word cone, which is a geometric figure that can be constructed in the following way: Let a and g be two distinct lines that intersect at a point V. Keep the line a fixed. Now rotate the line g about a, while maintaining the same angle between a and g. The collection of points swept out (generated) by the line g is called a right circular cone. See Figure 1. The fixed line a is called the axis of the cone; the point V is its vertex; the lines that pass through V and make the same angle with a as g are generators of the cone. Each generator is a line that lies entirely on the cone. The cone consists of two parts, called nappes, that intersect at the vertex. Conics, an abbreviation for conic sections, are curves that result from the intersection of a right circular cone and a plane. We discuss only conics formed where the plane does not contain the vertex. These conics are circles when the plane is perpendicular to the axis of the cone and intersects each generator; ellipses when the plane is tilted slightly so that it intersects each generator, but intersects only one nappe of the cone; parabolas when the plane is tilted farther so that it is parallel to one (and only one) generator and intersects only one nappe of the cone; and hyperbolas when the plane intersects both nappes. See Figure 2. Axis

If the plane contains the vertex, the intersection of the plane and the cone is a point, a line, or a pair of intersecting lines. These are called degenerate conics. Conic sections are used in modeling many applications. For example, parabolas are used in describing searchlights and telescopes (see Figures 14 and 15  on page 659). Ellipses are used to model the orbits of planets and whispering chambers (see pages 669–670). And hyperbolas are used to locate lightning strikes and model nuclear cooling towers (see Problems 76 and 77 in Section 10.4).

In Section 3.3, we learned that the graph of a quadratic function is a parabola. In this section, we give a geometric definition of a parabola and use it to obtain an equation. DEFINITION  Parabola A parabola is the collection of all points P in a plane that are the same distance d from a fixed point F as they are from a fixed line D. The point F is called the focus of the parabola, and the line D is its directrix. As a result, a parabola is the set of points P for which d 1F, P2 = d 1P, D2 (1)

Figure 3 shows a parabola (in blue). The line through the focus F and perpendicular to the directrix D is the axis of symmetry of the parabola. The point of intersection of the parabola with its axis of symmetry is the vertex V. Because the vertex V lies on the parabola, it must satisfy equation (1): d 1F, V2 = d 1V, D2. The vertex is midway between the focus and the directrix. We let a equal the distance d 1F, V2 from F to V. To derive an equation for a parabola, we use a rectangular system of coordinates positioned so that the vertex V, focus F, and directrix D of the parabola are conveniently located.

P 5 (x, y ) d(F, P ) F 5 (a, 0)

x

If we locate the vertex V at the origin 10, 02, we can conveniently position the focus F on either the x-axis or the y-axis. First, consider the case where the focus F is on the positive x-axis, as shown in Figure 4. Because the distance from F to V is a, the coordinates of F will be 1a, 02 with a 7 0. Similarly, because the distance from V to the directrix D is also a, and because D is perpendicular to the x-axis (since the x-axis is the axis of symmetry), the equation of the directrix D is x = - a. Now, if P = 1x, y2 is any point on the parabola, then P satisfies equation (1): d 1F, P2 = d 1P, D2

So we have

THEOREM  Equation of a Parabola: Vertex at 1 0, 02 , Focus at 1 a, 02 , a + 0

The equation of a parabola with vertex at 10, 02, focus at 1a, 02, and directrix x = - a, a 7 0, is y2 = 4ax (2)



Recall that a is the distance from the vertex to the focus of a parabola. When graphing the parabola y2 = 4ax, it is helpful to determine the “opening” by finding the points that lie directly above and below the focus 1a, 02 . Do this by substituting x = a in y2 = 4ax, so y2 = 4a # a = 4a2, or y = {2a. The line segment joining the two points, 1a, 2a2 and 1a, - 2a2, is called the latus rectum; its length is 4a.

By reversing the steps used to obtain equation (2), it follows that the graph of an equation of the form y2 = 4ax is a parabola; its vertex is at 10, 02 , its focus is at 1a, 02 , its directrix is the line x = - a, and its axis of symmetry is the x-axis. For the remainder of this section, the direction “Analyze the equation” means to find the vertex, focus, and directrix of the parabola and graph it.

25

The points 13, 62 and 13, - 62 determine the latus rectum. These points help graph the parabola because they determine the “opening.” See Figure 5. Now Work 

COMMENT  To graph the parabola y 2 = 12x discussed in Example 1, graph the two functions Y1 = 212x and Y2 = - 212x. Do this and compare what you  see with Figure 5.  ■

  Solve for y.

Solution  The equation y2 = 8x is of the form y2 = 4ax, where 4a = 8, so a = 2.

Consequently, the graph of the equation is a parabola with vertex at 10, 02 and focus on the positive x-axis at 1a, 02 = 12, 02. The directrix is the vertical line a = 2 units to the left of the y-axis. That is, x = - 2. The two points that determine the latus rectum are obtained by substituting x = 2 in the equation y2 = 8x. Then y2 = 16, so y = {4. The points 12, - 42 and 12, 42 determine the latus rectum. See Figure 6 for the graph.

CHAPTER 10  Analytic Geometry

Recall that we obtained equation (2) after placing the focus on the positive x-axis. Placing the focus on the negative x-axis, positive y-axis, or negative y-axis results in a different form of the equation for the parabola. The four forms of the equation of a parabola with vertex at 10, 02 and focus on a coordinate axis a distance a from 10, 02 are given in Table 1, and their graphs are given in Figure 7. Notice that each graph is symmetric with respect to its axis of symmetry.

line y = - 4 has its vertex at 10, 02 . (Do you see why? The vertex is midway between the focus and the directrix.) Since the focus is on the positive y-axis at 10, 42 , the equation of the parabola is of the form x2 = 4ay, with a = 4. That is, x2 = 4ay = 4 # 4y = 16y c

a = 4

Substituting y = 4 in the equation x2 = 16y yields x2 = 64, so x = {8. The points 18, 42 and 1 - 8, 42 determine the latus rectum. Figure 9 shows the graph of x 2 = 16y.

Analyze Parabolas with Vertex at (h, k)

NOTE  Rather than memorizing Table 2, use transformations (shift horizontally h units, vertically k units) and the fact that a is the distance from the vertex to the focus to determine the parabola. j

If a parabola with vertex at the origin and axis of symmetry along a coordinate axis is shifted horizontally h units and then vertically k units, the result is a parabola with vertex at 1h, k2 and axis of symmetry parallel to a coordinate axis. The equations of such parabolas have the same forms as those in Table 1, but with x replaced by x - h (the horizontal shift) and y replaced by y - k (the vertical shift). Table 2 gives the forms of the equations of such parabolas. Figures 11(a)–(d) on page 658 illustrate the graphs for h 7 0, k 7 0.

The vertex 1 - 2, 32 and focus 10, 32 both lie on the horizontal line y = 3 (the axis of symmetry). The distance a from the vertex 1 - 2, 32 to the focus 10, 32 is a = 2. Because the focus lies to the right of the vertex, the parabola opens to the right. Consequently, the form of the equation is 1y - k2 2 = 4a1x - h2

where 1h, k2 = 1 - 2, 32 and a = 2. Therefore, the equation is 1y - 32 2 = 4 # 23 x - 1 - 22 4 1y - 32 2 = 81x + 22

Since the vertex is midway between the focus and the directrix, the line x = - 4 is the directrix of the parabola. To find the points that define the latus rectum, ­substitute x = 0 in the equation 1y - 32 2 = 81x + 22. Then y - 3 = {4, so y = - 1 or y = 7. The points 10, - 12 and 10, 72 determine the latus rectum. See Figure 12. Now Work

3 Solve Applied Problems Involving Parabolas Parabolas occur in many applications. For example, as discussed in Section 3.4, suspension bridges have cables in the shape of a parabola. Parabolas also have a reflecting property that is used in applications. A parabola that is rotated about its axis of symmetry generates a surface called a paraboloid of revolution. If a light (or any other emitting source) is placed at the focus of the parabola, all the rays emanating from the light will reflect off the paraboloid of revolution in lines parallel to the axis of symmetry of the parabola. This principle is used in the design of searchlights, flashlights, certain automobile headlights, and other such devices. See Figure 14. Conversely, suppose that rays of light (or other signals) emanate from a distant source so that they are essentially parallel. When these rays strike the surface of a parabolic mirror whose axis of symmetry is parallel to these rays, they are reflected to a single point at the focus. This principle is used in the design of some solar energy devices, satellite dishes, and the mirrors used in some types of telescopes. See Figure 15.

The definition contains within it a physical means for drawing an ellipse. Find a piece of string (the length of the string is the constant referred to in the definition). Then take two thumbtacks (the foci) and stick them into a piece of cardboard so that the distance between them is less than the length of the string. Now attach the ends of the string to the thumbtacks and, using the point of a pencil, pull the string taut. See Figure 17. Keeping the string taut, rotate the pencil around the two thumbtacks. The pencil traces out an ellipse, as shown in Figure 17. In Figure 17, the foci are labeled F1 and F2 . The line containing the foci is called the major axis. The midpoint of the line segment joining the foci is the center of the ellipse. The line through the center and perpendicular to the major axis is the minor axis. The two points of intersection of the ellipse and the major axis are the vertices, V1 and V2 , of the ellipse. The distance from one vertex to the other is the length of the major axis. The ellipse is symmetric with respect to its major axis, with respect to its minor axis, and with respect to its center.

Analyze Ellipses with Center at the Origin With these ideas in mind, we are ready to find the equation of an ellipse in a rectangular coordinate system. First, place the center of the ellipse at the origin. Second, position the ellipse so that its major axis coincides with a coordinate axis, say the x-axis, as shown in Figure 18. If c is the distance from the center to a focus, one focus will be at F1 = 1 - c, 02 and the other at F2 = 1c, 02 .

664 

CHAPTER 10  Analytic Geometry

As we shall see, it is convenient to let 2a denote the constant distance referred to in the definition. Then, if P = 1x, y2 is any point on the ellipse,

The sum of the distances from P to the foci equals a constant, 2a.

d 1F1 , P2 + d 1F2 , P2 = 2a

2 1x + c2 2 + y2 + 2 1x - c2 2 + y2 = 2a

Use the Distance Formula.

2 1x + c2 2 + y2 = 2a - 2 1x - c2 2 + y2

1x + c2 2 + y2 = 4a2 - 4a2 1x - c2 2 + y2 + 1x - c2 2 + y2

x2 + 2cx + c 2 + y2 = 4a2 - 4a2 1x - c2 2 + y2 + x2 - 2cx + c 2 + y2 4cx - 4a2 = - 4a2 1x - c2 2 + y2 cx - a2 = - a2 1x - c2 2 + y2 2 2

1cx - a 2 = a2 3 1x - c2 2 + y2 4

c 2x2 - 2a2cx + a4 = a2 1x2 - 2cx + c 2 + y2 2

1c 2 - a2 2 x2 - a2y2 = a2c 2 - a4

1a2 - c 2 2 x2 + a2y2 = a2 1a2 - c 2 2

Isolate one radical. Square both sides.

Multiply out.

Simplify; isolate the radical. Divide both sides by 4. Square both sides again. Multiply out. Rearrange the terms. Multiply both sides by −1; (1) factor out a2 on the right side.

To obtain points on the ellipse that are not on the major axis, we must have a 7 c. To see why, look again at Figure 18. Then

  d1 F1, P 2 + d1 F2, P 2 = 2a; d1F1, F2 2 = 2c

Because a 7 c 7 0, this means a2 7 c 2, so a2 - c 2 7 0. Let b2 = a2 - c 2, b 7 0. Then a 7 b and equation (1) can be written as b2 x 2 + a 2 y 2 = a 2 b2 y2 x2 + 2 = 1 2 a b

Divide both sides by a2b2.

The graph of the equation has symmetry with respect to the x-axis, the y-axis, and the origin. Because the major axis is the x-axis, the vertices lie on the x-axis. So the vertices x2 satisfy the equation 2 = 1, the solutions of which are x = {a. Consequently, the a vertices of the ellipse are V1 = 1 - a, 02 and V2 = 1a, 02. The y-intercepts of the ellipse, found by substituting x = 0 in the equation, have coordinates 10, - b2 and 10, b2. The four intercepts, 1a, 02, 1 - a, 02, 10, b2, and 10, - b2, are used to graph the ellipse. THEOREM  Equation of an Ellipse: Center at 1 0, 02 ; Major Axis along the x-Axis

An equation of the ellipse with center at 10, 02, foci at 1 - c, 02 and 1c, 02, and vertices at 1 - a, 02 and 1a, 02 is

y2 x2 + = 1 a2 b2

Notice in Figure 19 the points 10, 02 , 1c, 02 , and 10, b2 form a right triangle. Because b2 = a2 - c 2 1or b2 + c 2 = a2 2, the distance from the focus at 1c, 02 to the point 10, b2 is a. This can be seen another way. Look at the two right triangles in Figure 19. They are congruent. Do you see why? Because the sum of the distances from the foci to a point on the ellipse is 2a, it follows that the distance from 1c, 02 to 10, b2 is a.

Find an equation of the ellipse with center at the origin, one focus at 13, 02 , and a vertex at 1 - 4, 02. Graph the equation.

The ellipse has its center at the origin, and since the given focus and vertex lie on the x-axis, the major axis is the x-axis. The distance from the center, 10, 02 , to one of the foci, 13, 02 , is c = 3. The distance from the center, 10, 02 , to one of the vertices, 1 - 4, 02, is a = 4.

The equation is of the form of equation (2), with a2 = 25 and b2 = 9. The equation is that of an ellipse with center at 10, 02 and major axis along the x-axis. The vertices are at 1 {a, 02 = 1 {5, 02. Because b2 = a2 - c 2, this means c 2 = a2 - b2 = 25 - 9 = 16

If the major axis of an ellipse with center at 10, 02 lies on the y-axis, the foci are at 10, - c2 and 10, c2 . Using the same steps as before, the definition of an ellipse leads to the following result. THEOREM  Equation of an Ellipse: Center at (0, 0); Major Axis along the y-Axis

The major axis is the y-axis. Figure 23 illustrates the graph of such an ellipse. Again, notice the right triangle formed by the points at 10, 02, 1b, 02, and 10, c2, so that a2 = b2 + c 2 1or b2 = a2 - c 2 2. Look closely at equations (2) and (3). Although they may look alike, there is a difference! In equation (2), the larger number, a2, is in the denominator of the x2@term, so the major axis of the ellipse is along the x-axis. In equation (3), the larger number, a2, is in the denominator of the y2@term, so the major axis is along the y-axis.

Find an equation of the ellipse having one focus at 10, 22 and vertices at 10, - 32 and 10, 32 . Graph the equation.

Plot the given focus and vertices, and note that the major axis is the y-axis. Because the vertices are at 10, - 32 and 10, 32, the center of the ellipse is at their midpoint, the origin. The distance from the center, 10, 02 , to the given focus, 10, 22 , is c = 2. The distance from the center, 10, 02 , to one of the vertices, 10, 32 , is a = 3. So b2 = a2 - c 2 = 9 - 4 = 5.

A circle may be considered a special kind of ellipse. To see why, let a = b in equation (2) or (3). Then y2 x2 + = 1 a2 a2 x2 + y 2 = a 2 This is the equation of a circle with center at the origin and radius a. The value of c is c 2 = a 2 - b2 = 0 c

a = b

This indicates that the closer the two foci of an ellipse are to the center, the more the ellipse will look like a circle.

Analyze Ellipses with Center at 1h, k2

If an ellipse with center at the origin and major axis coinciding with a coordinate axis is shifted horizontally h units and then vertically k units, the result is an ellipse with center at 1h, k2 and major axis parallel to a coordinate axis. The equations of such ellipses have the same forms as those given in equations (2) and (3), except that x is replaced by x - h (the horizontal shift) and y is replaced by y - k (the vertical shift). Table 3 (on the next page) gives the forms of the equations of such ellipses, and Figure 26 shows their graphs.

Asteroids

Figure 29  Elliptical orbits

Stone and concrete bridges are often shaped as semielliptical arches. Elliptical gears are used in machinery when a variable rate of motion is required. Ellipses also have an interesting reflection property. If a source of light (or sound) is placed at one focus, the waves transmitted by the source will reflect off the ellipse and concentrate at the other focus. This is the principle behind whispering galleries, which are rooms designed with elliptical ceilings. A person standing at one focus of the ellipse can whisper and be heard by a person standing at the other focus, because all the sound waves that reach the ceiling are reflected to the other person.

A Whispering Gallery The whispering gallery in the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago can be modeled by the top half of a three-dimensional ellipse, which is called an ellipsoid.

Solution

Set up a rectangular coordinate system so that the center of the ellipse is at the origin and the major axis is along the x-axis. The equation of the ellipse is y2 x2 + = 1 a2 b2

Since the length of the room is 47.3 feet, the distance from the center of the room to 47.3 each vertex (the end of the room) will be = 23.65 feet; so a = 23.65 feet. The 2 distance from the center of the room to each focus is c = 20.3 feet. See Figure 30. Because b2 = a2 - c 2, this means that b2 = 23.652 - 20.32 = 147.2325.

Using an elliptical reflector, a shock wave generator is placed at one focus and the kidney stone is positioned at the other focus.

Figure 31 illustrates a hyperbola with foci F1 and F2 . The line containing the foci is called the transverse axis. The midpoint of the line segment joining the foci is the center of the hyperbola. The line through the center and perpendicular to the transverse axis is the conjugate axis. The hyperbola consists of two separate curves, called branches, that are symmetric with respect to the transverse axis, conjugate axis, and center. The two points of intersection of the hyperbola and the transverse axis are the vertices, V1 and V2 , of the hyperbola.

Analyze Hyperbolas with Center at the Origin With these ideas in mind, we are now ready to find the equation of a hyperbola in the rectangular coordinate system. First, place the center at the origin. Next, position the hyperbola so that its transverse axis coincides with a coordinate axis. Suppose that the transverse axis coincides with the x-axis, as shown in Figure 32. If c is the distance from the center to a focus, one focus will be at F1 = 1 - c, 02 and the other at F2 = 1c, 02. Now we let the constant difference of the distances from any point P = 1x, y2 on the hyperbola to the foci F1 and F2 be denoted by {2a, where a 7 0. (If P is on the right branch, the + sign is used; if P is on the left branch, the - sign is used.) The coordinates of P must satisfy the equation d1F1 , P2 - d 1F2 , P2 = {2a

Difference of the distances from P to the foci equals t2a. Use the Distance Formula.

2 1x + c2 2 + y2 = {2a + 2 1x - c2 2 + y2

Isolate one radical.

2 1x + c2 2 + y2 - 2 1x - c2 2 + y2 = {2a 1x + c2 2 + y2 = 4a2 { 4a2 1x - c2 2 + y2

Square both sides.

+ 1x - c2 2 + y2

x2 + 2cx + c 2 + y2 = 4a2 { 4a2 1x - c2 2 + y2 Multiply. + x2 - 2cx + c 2 + y2

4cx - 4a2 = {4a2 1x - c2 2 + y2 cx - a2 = {a2 1x - c2 2 + y2 2 2

1cx - a 2 = a2 3 1x - c2 2 + y2 4

c 2x2 - 2ca2 x + a4 = a2 1x2 - 2cx + c 2 + y2 2 c 2 x2 + a 4 = a 2 x2 + a 2 c 2 + a 2 y 2

1c 2 - a2 2 x2 - a2 y2 = a2 c 2 - a4

1c 2 - a2 2 x2 - a2 y2 = a2 1c 2 - a2 2

Simplify; isolate the radical. Divide both sides by 4. Square both sides. Multiply. Distribute and simplify. Rearrange terms. Factor a2 on the right side.  (  1  )

To obtain points on the hyperbola off the x-axis, we must have a 6 c. To see why, look again at Figure 32. d 1F1 , P2 6 d 1F2 , P2 + d 1F1 , F2 2

d 1F1 , P2 - d 1F2 , P2 6 d 1F1 , F2 2 2a 6 2c a 6 c

Use triangle F1PF2. P is on the right branch, so d1 F1, P 2 − d1F2 , P 2 = 2a; d1 F1, F2 2 = 2c.

Since a 6 c, we also have a2 6 c 2, so c 2 - a2 7 0. Let b2 = c 2 - a2, b 7 0. Then equation (1) can be written as b2 x 2 - a 2 y 2 = a 2 b2 y2 x2 Divide both sides by a2b2. = 1 a2 b2 To find the vertices of the hyperbola, substitute y = 0 in the equation. The vertices x2 satisfy the equation 2 = 1, the solutions of which are x = {a. Consequently, the a

The transverse axis is the x-axis. See Figure 33. The hyperbola defined by equation (2) is symmetric with respect to the x-axis, y-axis, and origin. To find the y-intercepts, if any, let x = 0 in equation (2). y2 This results in the equation 2 = - 1, which has no real solution, so the hyperbola b y2 x2 defined by equation (2) has no y-intercepts.

Finding and Graphing an Equation of a Hyperbola Find an equation of the hyperbola with center at the origin, one focus at 13, 02 and one vertex at 1 - 2, 02. Graph the equation.

The hyperbola has its center at the origin. Plot the center, focus, and vertex. Since they all lie on the x-axis, the transverse axis coincides with the x-axis. One focus is at 1c, 02 = 13, 02, so c = 3. One vertex is at 1 - a, 02 = 1 - 2, 02, so a = 2. From equation (2), it follows that b2 = c 2 - a2 = 9 - 4 = 5, so an equation of the hyperbola is y2 x2 = 1 4 5 To graph a hyperbola, it is helpful to locate and plot other points on the graph.

CHAPTER 10  Analytic Geometry

Look at the equations of the hyperbolas in Examples 2 and 4. For the hyperbola in Example 2, a2 = 16 and b2 = 4, so a 7 b; for the hyperbola in Example 4, a2 = 4 and b2 = 5, so a 6 b. This indicates that for hyperbolas, there are no requirements involving the relative sizes of a and b. Contrast this situation to the case of an ellipse, in which the relative sizes of a and b dictate which axis is the major axis. Hyperbolas have another feature to distinguish them from ellipses and parabolas: hyperbolas have asymptotes.

Find the Asymptotes of a Hyperbola Recall from Section 4.3 that a horizontal or oblique asymptote of a graph is a line with the property that the distance from the line to points on the graph approaches 0 as x S - q or as x S q . Asymptotes provide information about the end behavior of the graph of a hyperbola. THEOREM  Asymptotes of a Hyperbola; Transverse Axis along the x-Axis The hyperbola

y2 x2 - 2 = 1 has the two oblique asymptotes 2 a b y =

Proof  Begin by solving for y in the equation of the hyperbola. y2 x2 = 1 a2 b2 y2 x2 = 2 - 1 2 b a x2 - 1≤ a2 Since x ≠ 0, the right side can be factored and rewritten as y 2 = b2 ¢

y2 =

y = {

a2 approaches 0, so the expression under the x2 bx radical approaches 1. So as x S - q or as x S q , the value of y approaches { ; a that is, the graph of the hyperbola approaches the lines Now, as x S - q or as x S q , the term

y = -

b b x and y = x a a

These lines are oblique asymptotes of the hyperbola.

The asymptotes of a hyperbola are not part of the hyperbola, but they serve as a guide for graphing the hyperbola. For example, suppose that we want to graph the equation y2 x2 = 1 a2 b2

3 Analyze Hyperbolas with Center at (h, k) If a hyperbola with center at the origin and transverse axis coinciding with a coordinate axis is shifted horizontally h units and then vertically k units, the result is a hyperbola with center at 1h, k2 and transverse axis parallel to a coordinate axis. The equations of such hyperbolas have the same forms as those given in equations (2) and (3), except that x is replaced by x - h (the horizontal shift) and y is replaced by y - k (the vertical shift). Table 4 gives the forms of the equations of such hyperbolas. See Figure 42 for typical graphs.

Finding an Equation of a Hyperbola, Center Not at the Origin Find an equation for the hyperbola with center at 11, - 22, one focus at 14, - 22 , and one vertex at 13, - 22. Graph the equation.

The center is at 1h, k2 = 11, - 22, so h = 1 and k = - 2. Since the center, focus, and vertex all lie on the line y = - 2, the transverse axis is parallel to the x-axis. The distance from the center 11, - 22 to the focus 14, - 22 is c = 3; the distance from the center 11, - 22 to the vertex 13, - 22 is a = 2. Then b2 = c 2 - a2 = 9 - 4 = 5.

Look at Figure 45. Suppose that three microphones are located at points O1 , O2 , and O3 (the foci of the two hyperbolas). In addition, suppose that a gun is fired at S and the microphone at O1 records the gunshot 1 second after the microphone at O2 . Because sound travels at about 1100 feet per second, we conclude that the microphone at O1 is 1100 feet farther from the gunshot than O2 . This situation is modeled by placing S on a branch of a hyperbola with foci at O1 and O2 . (Do you see why? The difference of the distances from S to O1 and from S to O2 is the constant 1100.) If the third microphone at O3 records the gunshot 2 seconds after O1 , then S lies on a branch of a second hyperbola with foci at O1 and O3 . In this case, the constant difference will be 2200. The intersection of the two hyperbolas identifies the location of S.

Lightning Strikes Suppose that two people standing 1 mile apart both see a flash of lightning. After a period of time, the person standing at point A hears the thunder. One second later, the person standing at point B hears the thunder. If the person at B is due west of the person at A and the lightning strike is known to occur due north of the person standing at A, where did the lightning strike occur?

CHAPTER 10  Analytic Geometry

Solution

See Figure 46, where the point 1x, y2 represents the location of the lightning strike. Sound travels at 1100 feet per second, so the person at point A is 1100 feet closer to the lightning strike than the person at point B. Since the difference of the distance from 1x, y2 to B and the distance from 1x, y2 to A is the constant 1100, the point 1x, y2 lies on a hyperbola whose foci are at A and B. North

Figure 46  Lightning strike model

An equation of the hyperbola is y2 x2 = 1 a2 b2 where 2a = 1100, or a = 550. Because the distance between the two people is 1 mile (5280 feet) and each person is at a focus of the hyperbola, then 2c = 5280 5280 c = = 2640 2 Since b2 = c 2 - a2 = 26402 - 5502 = 6,667,100, the equation of the hyperbola that describes the location of the lightning strike is y2 x2 = 1 6,667,100 5502 Refer to Figure 46. Since the lightning strike occurred due north of the individual at the point A = 12640, 02, let x = 2640 and solve the resulting equation. y2 26402 = 1 6,667,100 5502 y2 = - 22.04 6, 667,100

y2 = 146,942,884 y = 12,122

x = 2640

Subtract

26402 from both sides. 5502

Multiply both sides by −6,667,100. y + 0 since the lightning strike occurred in quadrant I.

The lightning strike occurred 12,122 feet north of the person standing at point A. Check: The difference between the distance from 12640, 121222 to the person at the point B = 1 - 2640, 02 and the distance from 12640, 121222 to the person at the point A = 12640, 02 should be 1100. Using the distance formula, the difference of the distances is 2 3 2640 - 1 - 26402 4 2 + 112,122 - 02 2 - 2 12640 - 26402 2 + 112,122 - 02 2 = 1100 as required.

At a point between the devices 300 feet from point B, a small amount of explosive is detonated. The recording devices record the time until the sound reaches each. How far directly north of point B should a second explosion be done so that the measured time difference recorded by the devices is the same as that for the first detonation? 79. Rutherford’s Experiment  In May 1911, Ernest Rutherford published a paper in Philosophical Magazine. In this article, he described the motion of alpha particles as they are shot at a piece of gold foil 0.00004 cm thick. Before conducting this experiment, Rutherford expected that the alpha particles would shoot through the foil just as a bullet would shoot through snow. Instead, a small fraction of the alpha particles bounced off the foil. This led to the conclusion that the nucleus of an atom is dense, while the remainder of the atom is sparse. Only the density of the nucleus could cause the alpha particles to deviate from their path. The figure shows a diagram from Rutherford’s paper that indicates that the deflected alpha particles follow the path of one branch of a hyperbola. y

An aircraft moving faster than the speed of sound produces a cone-shaped shock wave that “booms” as it trails the vehicle.

Hyperbolic Mirrors  Hyperbolas have interesting reflective properties that make them useful for lenses and mirrors. For example, if a ray of light strikes a convex hyperbolic mirror on a line that would (theoretically) pass through its rear focus, it is reflected through the front focus. This property, and that of the parabola, were used to develop the Cassegrain telescope in 1672. The focus of the parabolic mirror and the rear focus of the hyperbolic mirror are the same point. The rays are collected by the parabolic mirror, then reflected toward the (common) focus, and thus are reflected by the hyperbolic mirror through the opening to its front focus, where the eyepiece is located. If the equation of y2 x2 the hyperbola is = 1 and the focal length (distance 9 16 from the vertex to the focus) of the parabola is 6, find the equation of the parabola.

where A, B, and C are not all 0—is a conic. We are not concerned with the degenerate cases of equation (1), such as x2 + y2 = 0, whose graph is a single point 10, 02; or x2 + 3y2 + 3 = 0, whose graph contains no points; or x2 - 4y2 = 0, whose graph is two lines, x - 2y = 0 and x + 2y = 0. We begin with the case where B = 0. In this case, the term containing xy is not present, so equation (1) has the form

Ax2 + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0 (2)

where either A ≠ 0 or C ≠ 0.

Identify a Conic We have already discussed how to identify the graph of an equation of this form. We complete the squares of the quadratic expressions in x or y, or both. Then the conic can be identified by comparing it to one of the forms studied in Sections 10.2 through 10.4. But the conic can be identified directly from its equation without completing the squares.

THEOREM  Identifying Conics without Completing the Squares Excluding degenerate cases, the equation Ax2 + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0 where A and C are not both equal to zero: • Defines a parabola if AC = 0. • Defines an ellipse (or a circle) if AC 7 0. • Defines a hyperbola if AC 6 0. Proof • If AC = 0, then either A = 0 or C = 0, but not both, so the form of equation (2) is either Ax2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0

A ≠ 0

Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0

C ≠ 0

or Using the results of Problems 80 and 81 at the end of Section 10.2, it follows that, except for the degenerate cases, the equation is a parabola. • If AC 7 0, then A and C have the same sign. Using the results of Problem 90 at the end of Section 10.3, except for the degenerate cases, the equation is an ellipse. • If AC 6 0, then A and C have opposite signs. Using the results of Problem 88 at the end of Section 10.4, except for the degenerate cases, the equation is a hyperbola. ■ Although we are not studying the degenerate cases of equation (2), in practice, you should be alert to the possibility of degeneracy.

Figure 47  Rotation of axes

Use a Rotation of Axes to Transform Equations Now let’s suppose that B ≠ 0. To discuss this case, we introduce a new procedure: rotation of axes. In a rotation of axes, the origin remains fixed while the x-axis and y-axis are rotated through an angle u to a new position; the new positions of the x-axis and the y-axis are denoted by x′ and y′, respectively, as shown in Figure 47(a). Now look at Figure 47(b). There the point P has the coordinates 1x, y2 relative to the xy-plane, while the same point P has coordinates 1x′, y′2 relative to the x′y′@plane. We need relationships that enable us to express x and y in terms of x′, y′, and u.

688 

CHAPTER 10  Analytic Geometry

As Figure 47(b) shows, r denotes the distance from the origin O to the point P, and a denotes the angle between the positive x′@axis and the ray from O through P. Then, using the definitions of sine and cosine, we have

x′ = r cos a

y′ = r sin a

x = r cos 1u + a2

Now

(3)

y = r sin 1u + a2 (4)

x = r cos 1u + a2

= r 1cos u cos a - sin u sin a2

Use the Sum Formula for cosine.

= x′ cos u - y′ sin u

By equation (3)

= (r cos a) # cos u - (r sin a) # sin u

Similarly, y = r sin 1u + a2

= r 1sin u cos a + cos u sin a2 = x′ sin u + y′ cos u

Use the Sum Formula for sine. By equation (3)

THEOREM  Rotation Formulas If the x- and y-axes are rotated through an angle u, the coordinates 1x, y2 of a point P relative to the xy-plane and the coordinates 1x′, y′2 of the same point relative to the new x′@ and y′@axes are related by the formulas

E XAM PLE 2

x = x′ cos u - y′ sin u

y = x′ sin u + y′ cos u (5)

Rotating Axes Express the equation xy = 1 in terms of new x′y′@coordinates by rotating the axes through a 45° angle. Discuss the new equation.

Solution

Let u = 45° in formulas (5). Then x = x′ cos 45° - y′ sin 45° = x′ y = x′ sin 45° + y′ cos 45° = x′

22 22 22 - y′ = 1x′ - y′2 2 2 2 22 22 22 + y′ = 1x′ + y′2 2 2 2

This is the equation of a hyperbola with center at 10, 02 and transverse axis along the x′@axis. The vertices are at 1 { 12, 02 on the x′@axis; the asymptotes are y′ = x′ and y′ = - x′ (which correspond to the original x- and y-axes). See Figure 48 for the graph of xy = 1.

SECTION 10.5  Rotation of Axes; General Form of a Conic 

689

As Example 2 illustrates, a rotation of axes through an appropriate angle can transform a second-degree equation in x and y containing an xy-term into one in x′ and y′ in which no x′ y′@term appears. In fact, a rotation of axes through an appropriate angle will transform any equation of the form of equation (1) into an equation in x′ and y′ without an x′ y′@term. To find the formula for choosing an appropriate angle u through which to rotate the axes, begin with equation (1), Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0

B ≠ 0

Now rotate the x- and y-axes through an angle u using the rotation formulas (5). 2

(6)

In equation (6), the coefficient of x′ y′ is

B 1cos2 u - sin2 u2 + 21C - A2 1sin u cos u2

To eliminate the x′ y′@term, select an angle u so that this coefficient is 0. B 1cos2 u - sin2 u2 + 21C - A2 1sin u cos u2 = 0 B cos 12u2 + 1C - A2 sin 12u2 = 0

THEOREM  Transformation Angle To transform the equation Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0

into an equation in x′ and y′ without an x′ y′@term, rotate the axes through an angle u that satisfies the equation WARNING Be careful if you use a calculator to solve equation (7). • If cot12u2 = 0, then 2u = 90° and u = 45°. • If cot12u2 ≠ 0, first find cos 12u2.

Equation (7) has an infinite number of solutions for u. We follow the convention of choosing the acute angle u that satisfies (7). There are two possibilities: If cot12u2 Ú 0, then 0° 6 2u … 90°, so 0° 6 u … 45°. If cot12u2 6 0, then 90° 6 2u 6 180°, so 45° 6 u 6 90°. Each of these results in a counterclockwise rotation of the axes through an acute angle u.* A - C will eliminate the x′y′–term. B However, the final form of the transformed equation may be different (but equivalent), depending on the angle chosen. *Any rotation through an angle u that satisfies cot 12u2 =

In Example 3, the acute angle u of rotation was easy to find because of the A - C numbers used in the given equation. In general, the equation cot12u2 = B does not have such a “nice” solution. As the next example shows, we can still find the appropriate rotation formulas without a calculator approximation by using Half-angle Formulas.

4 Identify Conics without Rotating the Axes Suppose that we are required only to identify (rather than analyze) the graph of an equation of the form Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 + Dx + Ey + F = 0



B ≠ 0 (8)

Applying the rotation formulas (5) to this equation gives an equation of the form A′ x′2 + B′ x′ y′ + C′ y′2 + D′ x′ + E′ y′ + F′ = 0 (9)



where A′, B′, C′, D′, E′, and F′ can be expressed in terms of A, B, C, D, E, F and the angle u of rotation (see Problem 55). It can be shown that the value of B2 - 4AC in equation (8) and the value of B′2 - 4A′ C′ in equation (9) are equal no matter what angle u of rotation is chosen (see Problem 57). In particular, if the angle u of rotation satisfies equation (7), then B′ = 0 in equation (9), and B2 - 4AC = - 4A′ C′. Since equation (9) then has the form of equation (2), A′ x′2 + C′ y′2 + D′ x′ + E′ y′ + F′ = 0 we can identify its graph without completing the squares, as we did in the beginning of this section. In fact, now we can identify the conic described by any equation of the form of equation (8) without rotating the axes.

OBJECTIVES 1  Analyze and Graph Polar Equations of Conics (p. 694)

2  Convert the Polar Equation of a Conic to a Rectangular Equation (p. 698)

Analyze and Graph Polar Equations of Conics In Sections 10.2 through 10.4, we gave individual definitions for a parabola, ellipse, and hyperbola based on geometric properties and the distance formula. This section presents an alternative definition that simultaneously defines all these conics and is well suited to polar coordinate representation. (Refer to Section 9.1.)

SECTION 10.6  Polar Equations of Conics 

695

DEFINITION  Conic Let D denote a fixed line called the directrix; let F denote a fixed point called the focus, which is not on D; and let e be a fixed positive number called the eccentricity. A conic is the set of points P in a plane for which the ratio of the distance from F to P to the distance from D to P equals e. That is, a conic is the collection of points P for which

d 1F, P2 = e (1) d 1D, P2

• If e = 1, the conic is a parabola. • If e 6 1, the conic is an ellipse. • If e 7 1, the conic is a hyperbola.

Observe that if e = 1, the definition of a parabola in equation (1) is exactly the same as the definition used earlier in Section 10.2. In the case of an ellipse, the major axis is a line through the focus perpendicular to the directrix. In the case of a hyperbola, the transverse axis is a line through the focus perpendicular to the directrix. For both an ellipse and a hyperbola, the eccentricity e satisfies



e =

c (2) a

where c is the distance from the center to the focus, and a is the distance from the center to a vertex.

Polar axis

Just as we did earlier using rectangular coordinates, we derive equations for the conics in polar coordinates by choosing a convenient position for the focus F and the directrix D. The focus F is positioned at the pole, and the directrix D is either parallel or perpendicular to the polar axis. Suppose that we start with the directrix D perpendicular to the polar axis at a distance p units to the left of the pole (the focus F). See Figure 52. If P = 1r, u2 is any point on the conic, then, by equation (1),

d 1F, P2 = e or d 1F, P2 = e # d 1D, P2 (3) d 1D, P2

Now use the point Q obtained by dropping the perpendicular from P to the polar axis to calculate d1D, P2.

d 1D, P2 = p + d 1O, Q2 = p + r cos u (4)

Since the focus F is at the pole (origin), it follows that

d 1F, P2 = d 1O, P2 = r (5)

Use the results in equations (4) and (5) in equation (3). Then d 1F, P2 = e # d 1D, P2

r = e1p + r cos u2 r = ep + er cos u

r - er cos u = ep r 11 - e cos u2 = ep r =

ep 1 - e cos u

Equations of the form y = f1x2, where f is a function, have graphs that are intersected no more than once by any vertical line. The graphs of many of the conics and certain other, more complicated graphs do not have this characteristic. Yet each graph, like the graph of a function, is a collection of points 1x, y2 in the xy-plane; that is, each is a plane curve. This section discusses another way of representing such graphs. DEFINITION  Parametric Equations and Plane Curves Suppose x = x1t2 and y = y1t2 are two functions of a third variable t, called the parameter, that are defined on the same interval I. Then the equations x = x1t2

y = y1t2

where t is in I, are called parametric equations, and the graph of the points defined by

is called a plane curve.

1x, y2 = 1x1t2, y1t2 2

where each function is defined over the interval a … t … b. For a given value of t, the values of x = x1t2 and y = y1t2 determine a point 1x, y2 on the curve. In fact, as t varies over the interval from t = a to t = b, successive values of t determine the direction of the movement along the curve. That is, the curve is traced out in a certain direction by the corresponding succession of points 1x, y2. See Figure 56. The arrows show the direction, or orientation, along the curve as t varies from a to b.

Note that the plane curve defined by equation (1) and shown in Figure 57 is only 3y2 a part of the parabola x = . The graph of the rectangular equation obtained by 4 eliminating the parameter will, in general, contain more points than the original plane curve. Care must therefore be taken when a plane curve is graphed after eliminating the parameter. Even so, eliminating the parameter t from the parametric equations to identify a plane curve accurately is sometimes a better approach than plotting points.

Example 3 illustrates the versatility of parametric equations for replacing complicated rectangular equations, while providing additional information about orientation. These characteristics make parametric equations very useful in applications, such as projectile motion.

3 Use Time as a Parameter in Parametric Equations If we think of the parameter t as time, then the parametric equations x = x1t2 and y = y1t2 specify how the x- and y-coordinates of a moving point vary with time. For example, we can use parametric equations to model the motion of an object, sometimes referred to as curvilinear motion. Using parametric equations, we can specify not only where the object travels—that is, its location 1x, y2—but also when it gets there—that is, the time t. When an object is propelled upward at an inclination u to the horizontal with initial speed v0 , the resulting motion is called projectile motion.

4 Find Parametric Equations for Plane Curves Defined by Rectangular Equations

t in the domain of f

are parametric equations of the plane curve.

CHAPTER 10  Analytic Geometry

Care must be taken when using the second approach in Example 6. The substitution for x must be a function that allows x to take on all the values in the domain of f. For example, letting x1t2 = t 2 so that y1t2 = t 4 - 4 does not result in equivalent parametric equations for y = x2 - 4, since only points for which x Ú 0 are obtained; yet the domain of y = x2 - 4 is 5 x 0 x is any real number 6 .

Begin with a circle of radius a and take the fixed line on which the circle rolls as the x-axis. Let the origin be one of the points at which the point P comes in contact with the x-axis. Figure 68 shows the position of this point P after the circle has rolled a bit. The angle t (in radians) measures the angle through which the circle has rolled. Since we require no slippage, it follows that Arc AP = d 1O, A2

The length of arc AP is given by s = ru, where r = a and u = t radians. Then

If a 6 0 in equation (5), we obtain an inverted cycloid, as shown in Figure 69(a). The inverted cycloid occurs as a result of some remarkable applications in the field of mechanics. We mention two of them: the brachistochrone and the tautochrone. A

CHAPTER 10  Analytic Geometry

Cycloid

path is an inverted cycloid. See Figure 69(b). For example, to slide packages from a loading dock onto a truck, a ramp in the shape of an inverted cycloid might be used, so the packages get to the truck in the least amount of time. This remarkable discovery, which has been attributed to many famous mathematicians (including Johann Bernoulli and Blaise Pascal), was a significant step in creating the branch of mathematics known as the calculus of variations. To define the tautochrone, let Q be the lowest point on an inverted cycloid. If several particles placed at various positions on an inverted cycloid simultaneously begin to slide down the cycloid, they will reach the point Q at the same time, as indicated in Figure 69(c). The tautochrone property of the cycloid was used by Christiaan Huygens (1629–1695), the Dutch mathematician, physicist, and astronomer, to construct a pendulum clock with a bob that swings along a cycloid (See Figure 70). In Huygens’s clock, the bob was made to swing along a cycloid by suspending the bob on a thin wire constrained by two plates shaped like cycloids. In a clock of this design, the period of the pendulum is independent of its amplitude.

Systems of Equations and Inequalities Economic Outcomes Annual Earnings of Young Adults For both males and females, earnings increase with education: full-time workers with at least a bachelor’s degree have higher median earnings than those with less education. Males and females who dropped out of high school earned 19% and 25% less, respectively, than male and female high school completers. The median earnings of young adults who had at least a bachelor’s degree declined in the 1970s relative to their counterparts who were high school completers, before increasing between 1980 and 2016. Males with a bachelor’s degree or higher had earnings 19% higher than male high school completers in 1980 and had earnings 83% higher in 2016. Among females, those with at least a bachelor’s degree had earnings 34% higher than female high school completers in 1980, compared with earnings 111% higher in 2016. Source: U. S. Census Bureau

—See Chapter Project I—

A Look Back In Appendix A and Chapters 3, 4, 5, and 7, we solved various kinds of equations and inequalities involving a single variable.

A Look Ahead In this chapter we take up the problem of solving equations and inequalities containing two or more variables. There are various ways to solve such problems. The method of substitution for solving equations in several variables dates back to ancient times. The method of elimination, although it had existed for centuries, was put into systematic order by Karl Friedrich Gauss (1777—1855) and by Camille Jordan (1838––1922). The theory of matrices was developed in 1857 by Arthur Cayley (1821—1895), although only later were matrices used as we use them in this chapter. Matrices are useful in almost all areas of mathematics. The method of determinants was invented by Takakazu Seki Kôwa (1642—1708) in 1683 in Japan and by Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz (1646—1716) in 1693 in Germany. Cramer’s Rule is named after Gabriel Cramer (1704—1752) of Switzerland, who popularized the use of determinants for solving linear systems. Section 11.5, on partial fraction decomposition, is an application of systems of equations and is used in integral calculus. Section 11.8 introduces linear programming, a modern application of linear inequalities. This topic is particularly useful for students interested in operations research.

If x represents the number of tickets sold at $10.00 and y the number of tickets sold at the discounted price of $8.00, write an equation that relates these variables.

Solution

Each nondiscounted ticket costs $10.00, so x tickets bring in 10x dollars. Similarly, y discounted tickets bring in 8y dollars. Because the total revenue is $4630, we must have 10x + 8y = 4630 In Example 1, suppose that we also know that 525 tickets were sold that evening. Then we have another equation relating the variables x and y: x + y = 525 The two equations b

10x + 8y = 4630 x + y = 525

form a system of equations. In general, a system of equations is a collection of two or more equations, each containing one or more variables. Example 2 gives some illustrations of systems of equations.

We use a brace to remind us that we are dealing with a system of equations, and we number each equation in the system for convenient reference. A solution of a system of equations consists of values for the variables that are solutions of each equation of the system. To solve a system of equations means to find all solutions of the system. For example, x = 2, y = 1 is a solution of the system in Example 2(a), because b

Any solution of the system must satisfy each equation of the system. Now Work   p r o b l e m 1 1 When a system of equations has at least one solution, it is said to be consistent. When a system of equations has no solution, it is called inconsistent.

CHAPTER 11  Systems of Equations and Inequalities

Some examples of linear equations are 2x + 3y = 2

5x - 2y + 3z = 10

8x + 8y - 2z + 5w = 0

If each equation in a system of equations is linear, we have a system of linear equations. The systems in Examples 2(a), (c), (d), and (e) are linear, but the system in Example 2(b) is nonlinear. In this chapter we solve linear systems in Sections 11.1 to 11.3. Nonlinear systems are discussed in Section 11.6. We begin by discussing a system of two linear equations containing two variables. The problem of solving such a system can be viewed as a geometry problem. The graph of each equation in such a system is a line. So a system of two linear equations containing two variables represents a pair of lines. The lines may intersect, be parallel, or be coincident (that is, identical). • If the lines intersect, the system of equations has one solution, given by the point of intersection. The system is consistent and the equations are independent. See Figure 1(a). • If the lines are parallel, the system of equations has no solution, because the lines never intersect. The system is inconsistent. See Figure 1(b). • If the lines are coincident (the lines lie on top of each other), the system of equations has infinitely many solutions, represented by all of the points on the line. The system is consistent, and the equations are dependent. See Figure 1(c). Consistent and Independent   Inconsistent        Consistent and Dependent y

First, solve each equation for y. That is, write each equation in slope-intercept form. Equation (1) in slope-intercept form is y = - 2x - 1, which has slope - 2 2 and y-intercept - 1. Equation (2) in slope-intercept form is y = x + 7, which has 3 2 slope and y-intercept 7. Figure 2 shows their graphs. 3 From the graph in Figure 2, we see that the lines intersect, so the system given in Example 3 is consistent. The graph can also be used to approximate the solution. For this system, the solution appears to be the point 1 - 3, 52. Most of the time we use algebraic methods to obtain exact solutions. A number of methods are available for solving systems of linear equations algebraically. In this section, we introduce two methods: substitution and elimination. We illustrate the method of substitution by solving the system given in Example 3.

Solve Systems of Equations by Substitution E XAM PLE 4

Solving a System of Linear Equations by Substitution Solve: b

2x + y = - 1 (1)   - 4x + 6y = 42 (2)

Step-by-Step Solution

Solve equation (1) for y.

Step 1:  Pick one of the equations, and solve for one variable in terms of the remaining variable(s).



Step 2:  Substitute the result into the remaining equation(s).

Substitute - 2x - 1 for y in equation (2). The result is an equation containing just the variable x, which we can solve.

 

2x + y = - 1

Equation (1)

y = - 2x - 1



  - 4x + 61 - 2x - 12 = 42   - 4x + 6y = 42



 

Equation (2) Substitute −2x − 1 for y in (2).

Step 3:  If one equation in one variable results, solve this equation. Otherwise, repeat Steps 1 and 2 until a single equation with one variable remains.



- 4x - 12x - 6 = 42



- 16x - 6 = 42

Step 4:  Find the values of the remaining variables by backsubstitution.

Because we know that x = - 3, we can find the value of y by back-substitution, that is, by substituting - 3 for x in one of the original equations. Equation (1) seems easier to work with, so we will back-substitute into equation (1).

  - 16x = 48   x = -3  





2x + y = - 1



21 - 32 + y = - 1



-6 + y = -1

Step 5:  Check the solution found.

y = 5

       

Distribute. Combine like terms. Add 6 to both sides. Solve for x.

Equation (1) Substitute −3 for x. Simplify. Solve for y.

We have x = - 3 and y = 5. Verify that both equations are satisfied (true) for these values. b

2x + y = - 1 - 4x + 6y = 42

21 - 32 + 5 = - 6 + 5 = - 1 - 41 - 32 + 6 # 5 = 12 + 30 = 42

The solution of the system is x = - 3 and y = 5. The solution can also be written as the ordered pair 1 - 3, 52. Now Use Substitution to Work   p r o b l e m 2 1

Solve Systems of Equations by Elimination A second method for solving a system of linear equations is the method of elimination. This method is usually preferred over substitution if substitution leads to fractions or if the system contains more than two variables. Elimination also provides the motivation for solving systems using matrices (the subject of Section 11.2).

724 

CHAPTER 11  Systems of Equations and Inequalities

In Words

When using elimination, get the coefficient of one variable to be opposite that of the other.

The idea behind the method of elimination is to replace the original system of equations by an equivalent system so that adding two of the equations eliminates a variable. The rules for obtaining equivalent equations are the same as those studied earlier. We may also interchange any two equations of the system and/or replace any equation in the system by the sum (or difference) of that equation and a nonzero multiple of any other equation in the system. Rules for Obtaining an Equivalent System of Equations

• Interchange any two equations of the system. • Multiply (or divide) both sides of an equation by the same nonzero constant. • Replace any equation in the system by the sum (or difference) of that equation and a nonzero multiple of any other equation in the system.

An example will give you the idea. As you work through the example, pay particular attention to the pattern being followed.

Movie Theater Ticket Sales A movie theater sells tickets for $10.00 each, with seniors receiving a discount of $2.00. One evening the theater sold 525 tickets and had revenue of $4630. How many of each type of ticket were sold?

Solution

If x represents the number of tickets sold at $10.00 and y the number of tickets sold at the discounted price of $8.00, then the given information results in the system of equations e

10x + 8y = 4630 (1)   x + y = 525 (2)

Using the method of elimination, first multiply equation (2) by - 8, and then add the equations. e

10x + 8y - 8x - 8y 2x x

= 4630 = - 4200 Multiply equation (2) by −8.   = 430 Add the equations. = 215

Since x + y = 525, then y = 525 - x = 525 - 215 = 310. So 215 nondiscounted tickets and 310 senior discount tickets were sold.

This statement is false. We conclude that the system has no solution and is inconsistent. Figure 3 illustrates the pair of lines whose equations form the system in Example 7. Notice that the graphs of the two equations are lines, each with slope - 2; one has a y-intercept of 5, the other a y-intercept of 4. The lines are parallel and have no point of intersection. This geometric statement is equivalent to the algebraic statement that the system has no solution.

The statement 0 = 0 means the original system is equivalent to a system containing one equation, 2x + y = 4. So the equations of the system are dependent. Furthermore, any values of x and y that satisfy 2x + y = 4 are solutions. For example, x = 2, y = 0; x = 0, y = 4; x = - 1, y = 6; x = 4, y = - 4 are solutions. There are, in fact, infinitely many values of x and y for which 2x + y = 4, so the original system has infinitely many solutions.

Just like a system of two linear equations containing two variables, a system of three linear equations containing three variables has • Exactly one solution (a consistent system with independent equations) • No solution (an inconsistent system) • Infinitely many solutions (a consistent system with dependent equations) The problem of solving a system of three linear equations containing three variables can be viewed as a geometry problem.

For a system of three equations, attempt to eliminate one variable at a time, using pairs of equations, until an equation with a single variable remains. Our strategy for solving this system will be to use equation (1) to eliminate the variable x from equations (2) and (3). We can then treat the new equations (2) and (3) as a system with two variables. Alternatively, we could use equation (1) to eliminate either y or z from equations (2) and (3). Try one of these approaches for yourself. We begin by multiplying both sides of equation (1) by - 4 and adding the result to equation (2). (Do you see why? The coefficients of x are now opposites of one another.) We also multiply equation (1) by - 2 and add the result to equation (3). Notice that these two procedures result in the elimination of the variable x from equations (2) and (3).

where it is understood that the first column represents the coefficients of the variable x, the second column the coefficients of y, and the third column the constants on the right side of the equal signs. The vertical bar serves as a reminder of the equal signs. The large square brackets are used to denote a matrix in algebra.

Each number aij in the matrix has two indexes: the row index i and the column index j. The matrix shown in display (1) has m rows and n columns. The numbers aij are usually referred to as the entries of the matrix. For example, a23 refers to the entry in the second row, third column.

Write the Augmented Matrix of a System of Linear Equations In Words

To augment means to increase or expand. An augmented matrix broadens the idea of matrices to systems of linear equations.

E XAM PLE 1

Now we will use matrix notation to represent a system of linear equations. The matrix used to represent a system of linear equations is called an augmented matrix. In writing the augmented matrix of a system, the variables of each equation must be on the left side of the equal sign and the constants on the right side. A variable that does not appear in an equation has a coefficient of 0.

(b) Care must be taken that the system be written so that the coefficients of all variables are present (if any variable is missing, its coefficient is 0). Also, all constants must be to the right of the equal sign. We need to rearrange the given system to put it into the required form. 2x - y + z = 0 (1)      c x + z - 1 = 0  (2) x + 2y - 8 = 0 (3)

(a) The augmented matrix has two rows and so represents a system of two equations. The two columns to the left of the vertical bar indicate that the system has two variables. If x and y are used to denote these variables, the system of equations is b

5x + 2y = 13 (1)   - 3x + y = - 10 (2)

(b) Since the augmented matrix has three rows, it represents a system of three equations. Since there are three columns to the left of the vertical bar, the system contains three variables. If x, y, and z are the three variables, the system of equations is 3x - y - z = 7 (1) c 2x + 2z = 8  (2) y + z = 0 (3)

3 Perform Row Operations on a Matrix Row operations on a matrix are used to solve systems of equations when the system is written as an augmented matrix. There are three basic row operations. Row Operations

• Interchange any two rows. • Replace a row by a nonzero multiple of that row. • Replace a row by the sum of that row and a constant nonzero multiple of some other row.

These three row operations correspond to the three rules given earlier for obtaining an equivalent system of equations. When a row operation is performed on a matrix, the resulting matrix represents a system of equations equivalent to the system represented by the original matrix. For example, consider the augmented matrix J

Suppose we want to use a row operation that results in a matrix whose entry in row 2, column 1 is 0. The row operation to use is

Multiply each entry in row 1 by - 4, and add the result (2) to the corresponding entries in row 2.

If we use R2 to represent the new entries in row 2 and r1 and r2 to represent the original entries in rows 1 and 2, respectively, we can represent the row operation in statement (2) by R2 = - 4r1 + r2

4 Solve a System of Linear Equations Using Matrices To solve a system of linear equations using matrices, use row operations on the augmented matrix of the system to obtain a matrix that is in row echelon form. DEFINITION  Row Echelon Form A matrix is in row echelon form when the following conditions are met: • The entry in row 1, column 1 is a 1, and only 0’s appear below it. • The first nonzero entry in each row after the first row is a 1, only 0’s appear below it, and the 1 appears to the right of the first nonzero entry in any row above. • Any rows that contain all 0’s to the left of the vertical bar appear at the bottom.

CHAPTER 11  Systems of Equations and Inequalities

For example, for a system of three equations containing three variables, x, y, and z, with a unique solution, the augmented matrix is in row echelon form if it is of the form 1 a b C0 1 c 0 0 1

d eS f

3

where a, b, c, d, e, and f are real numbers. The last row of this augmented matrix states that z = f. We then determine the value of y using back-substitution with z = f, since row 2 represents the equation y + cz = e. Finally, x is determined using back-substitution again. Two advantages of solving a system of equations by writing the augmented matrix in row echelon form are the following: • The process is algorithmic; that is, it consists of repetitive steps that can be programmed on a computer. • The process works on any system of linear equations, no matter how many equations or variables are present. The next example shows how to solve a system of linear equations by writing its augmented matrix in row echelon form.

We want the entry in row 2, column 2 to be 1. We also want to have 0 below the 1 in row 2, column 2. Interchanging rows 2 and 3 will accomplish both goals. 1 1 C0 0 0 1

The third row of the augmented matrix represents the equation z = - 2. Using z = - 2, back-substitute into the equation y - 4z = 10 (row 2) and obtain

y - 4z = 10 y - 41 - 22 = 10  z = −2



y = 2   Solve for y.

Finally, back-substitute y = 2 and z = - 2 into the equation x + y + z = 1 (row 1) and obtain x + y + z = 1



x + 2 + 1 - 22 = 1  y = 2, z = −2 x = 1  Solve for x.

The solution of the system is x = 1, y = 2, z = - 2 or, using an ordered triplet, 11, 2, - 22.  atrix Method for Solving a System of Linear Equations M (Row Echelon Form) Step 1: Write the augmented matrix that represents the system. Step 2: Use row operations to obtain 1 in row 1, column 1. Step 3: Use row operations that leave row 1 unchanged, but change the entries in column 1 below row 1 to 0’s. Step 4: Use row operations to obtain 1 in row 2, column 2, but leave the entries in columns to the left unchanged. If it is impossible to place 1 in row 2, column 2, place 1 in row 2, column 3. Once the 1 is in place, use row operations to obtain 0’s below it. (Place any rows that contain only 0’s on the left side of the vertical bar, at the bottom of the matrix.) Step 5: Now repeat Step 4 to obtain 1 in the next row, but one column to the right. Continue until the bottom row or the vertical bar is reached. Step 6: The matrix that results is the row echelon form of the augmented matrix. Analyze the system of equations corresponding to it to solve the original system.

Sometimes it is advantageous to write a matrix in reduced row echelon form. In this form, row operations are used to obtain entries that are 0 above (as well as below) the leading 1 in a row. For example, the row echelon form obtained in the solution to Example 6 is 1 C0 0

Another advantage will be seen in Section 11.4, where the inverse of a matrix is discussed. The method used to write a matrix in reduced row echelon form is called Gauss-Jordan elimination.

Financial Planning Adam and Michelle require an additional $25,000 in annual income (beyond their pension benefits). They are rather risk averse and have narrowed their investment choices down to Treasury notes that yield 3%, Treasury bonds that yield 5%, and corporate bonds that yield 6%. They have $600,000 to invest and want the amount invested in Treasury notes to equal the total amount invested in Treasury bonds and corporate bonds. How much should they place in each investment?

Solution

Let n, b, and c represent the amounts invested in Treasury notes, Treasury bonds, and corporate bonds, respectively. There is a total of $600,000 to invest, which means that the sum of the amounts invested in Treasury notes, Treasury bonds, and corporate bonds should equal $600,000.

If $100,000 is invested in Treasury notes, the income is 0.03 # +100,000 = +3000. In general, if n dollars are invested in Treasury notes, the income is 0.03n. Since the total income is to be $25,000, the second equation is 0.03n + 0.05b + 0.06c = 25,000  (2) The amount invested in Treasury notes must equal the sum of the amounts invested in Treasury bonds and corporate bonds, so the third equation is n = b + c or n - b - c = 0  (3) We have the following system of equations: n + b + c = 600,000 c 0.03n + 0.05b + 0.06c = 25,000 n b c = 0

The previous section described a method of using matrices to solve a system of linear equations. This section describes yet another method for solving systems of linear equations; however, it can be used only when the number of equations equals the number of variables. This method, called Cramer’s Rule, is based on the concept of a determinant. Although the method works for all systems where the number of equations equals the number of variables, it is most often used for systems of two equations containing two variables or three equations containing three variables.

Evaluate 2 by 2 Determinants DEFINITION  2 by 2 Determinant If a, b, c, and d are four real numbers, the symbol D = `

is called a 2 by 2 determinant. Its value is the number ad - bc; that is,

Use Cramer’s Rule to Solve a System of Two Equations Containing Two Variables Let’s see the role that a 2 by 2 determinant plays in the solution of a system of two equations containing two variables. Consider the system b



ax + by = s (1)   (2) cx + dy = t (2)

We use the method of elimination to solve this system. Provided that d ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0, this system is equivalent to the system b

adx + bdy = sd (1) Multiply by d.   bcx + bdy = tb (2) Multiply by b.

Subtract the second equation from the first equation and obtain b

1ad - bc2x + 0 # y = sd - tb (1)   bcx + bdy = tb (2)

Now the first equation can be rewritten using determinant notation. 2a b2x = 2s c d t

Subtract the first equation from the second equation and obtain b

Equations (3) and (4) lead to the following result, called Cramer’s Rule.

In the derivation given for Cramer’s Rule, we assumed that none of the numbers a, b, c, and d was 0. In Problem 65 you are asked to complete the proof under the less stringent condition that D = ad - bc ≠ 0. Now look carefully at the pattern in Cramer’s Rule. The denominator in the solution (6) is the determinant of the coefficients of the variables. b

ax + by = s cx + dy = t

In the solution for x, the numerator is the determinant, denoted by Dx, formed by replacing the entries in the first column (the coefficients of x) of D by the constants on the right side of the equal sign. s Dx = 2 t

The solution is x = 2, y = 1, or, using an ordered pair, 12, 12.

If the determinant D of the coefficients of the variables equals 0 (so that Cramer’s Rule cannot be used), then the system either is consistent with dependent equations or is inconsistent. To determine whether the system has no solution or infinitely many solutions, solve the system using the methods of Section 11.1 or Section 11.2. Now Work   p r o b l e m 1 5

3 Evaluate 3 by 3 Determinants To use Cramer’s Rule to solve a system of three equations containing three variables, we need to define a 3 by 3 determinant. A 3 by 3 determinant is symbolized by

a12 a22 a32

a13 a23 3 (8) a33

in which a11, a12, c, a33 are real numbers. As with matrices, we use a double subscript to identify an entry by indicating its row and column numbers. For example, the entry a23 is in row 2, column 3.

The 2 by 2 determinants in formula (9) are called minors of the 3 by 3 determinant. For an n by n determinant, the minor Mij of entry aij is the 1n - 12 by 1n - 12 determinant that results from removing the ith row and the jth column.

Referring to formula (9), note that each element aij in the first row of the determinant is multiplied by its minor, but sometimes this term is added and other times subtracted. To determine whether to add or subtract a term, we must consider the cofactor. DEFINITION  Cofactor For an n by n determinant A, the cofactor of entry aij, denoted by Aij, is given by Aij = 1 - 12 i + jMij

where Mij is the minor of entry aij.

The exponent of 1 - 12 i + j is the sum of the row and column of the entry aij, so if i + j is even, 1 - 12 i + j = 1, and if i + j is odd, 1 - 12 i + j = - 1. To find the value of a determinant, multiply each entry in any row or column by its cofactor and sum the results. This process is referred to as expanding across a row or column. For example, the value of the 3 by 3 determinant in formula (9) was found by expanding across row 1.

Observe that the signs, 1 - 12 i + j, associated with the cofactors alternate between positive and negative. For example, for a 3 by 3 determinant, the signs follow the pattern -1 1 -1

It can be shown that the value of a determinant does not depend on the choice of the row or column used in the expansion. So, expanding across a row or column that has an entry equal to 0 reduces the amount of work needed to compute the value of the determinant.

Cramer’s Rule cannot be used when the determinant of the coefficients of the variables, D, is 0. But can anything be learned about the system other than it is not a consistent and independent system if D = 0? The answer is yes! Cramer’s Rule with Inconsistent or Dependent Systems • If D = 0 and at least one of the determinants Dx, Dy, or Dz is different from 0, then the system is inconsistent and the solution set is ∅, or { }. • If D = 0 and all the determinants Dx, Dy, and Dz equal 0, then the system is consistent and dependent, so there are infinitely many solutions. The system must be solved using row reduction techniques. Now Work   p r o b l e m 3 3

Section 11.2 defined a matrix as a rectangular array of real numbers and used an augmented matrix to represent a system of linear equations. There is, however, a branch of mathematics, called linear algebra, in which an algebra of matrices is defined. This section is a survey of how this matrix algebra is developed. Before getting started, recall the definition of a matrix. DEFINITION  Matrix A matrix is defined as a rectangular array of numbers: Column 1  Column 2

Each number aij of the matrix has two indexes: the row index i and the column index j. The matrix shown here has m rows and n columns. The numbers aij are usually referred to as the entries of the matrix. For example, a23 refers to the entry in the second row, third column.

For an m by n matrix, the number of rows is listed first and the number of columns second.

E XAM PLE 2 NOTE  Matrices and determinants are different. A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers or expressions, nothing more. A determinant has a value, usually a real number. j

The matrix developed in Example 1 has 2 rows and 3 columns. In general, a matrix with m rows and n columns is called an m by n matrix. An m by n matrix contains m # n entries. The matrix developed in Example 1 is a 2 by 3 matrix and contains 2 # 3 = 6 entries. If an m by n matrix has the same number of rows as columns, that is, if m = n, then the matrix is a square matrix.

Find the Sum and Difference of Two Matrices We begin our discussion of matrix algebra by defining equal matrices and then defining the operations of addition and subtraction. It is important to note that these definitions require both matrices to have the same number of rows and the same number of columns as a condition for equality and for addition and subtraction. Matrices usually are represented by capital letters, such as A, B, and C.

DEFINITION  Equal Matrices Two matrices A and B are equal, written as A = B provided that A and B have the same number of rows and the same number of columns and each entry aij in A is equal to the corresponding entry bij in B.

Suppose that A and B represent two m by n matrices. The sum, A + B, is defined as the m by n matrix formed by adding the corresponding entries aij of A and bij of B. The difference, A − B, is defined as the m by n matrix formed by subtracting the entries bij in B from the corresponding entries aij in A. Addition and subtraction of matrices are defined only for matrices having the same number m of rows and the same number n of columns. For example, a 2 by 3 matrix and a 2 by 4 matrix cannot be added or subtracted.

Graphing utilities can make the sometimes tedious process of matrix algebra easy. In fact, most graphing calculators can handle matrices as large as 9 by 9, some even larger ones. Enter the matrices from Example 3 into a graphing utility. Name them A and B. Figure 7 shows the results of adding and subtracting A and B on a TI-84 Plus C.

Now Work   p r o b l e m 9 Many of the algebraic properties of sums of real numbers are also true for sums of matrices. Suppose that A, B, and C are m by n matrices. Then matrix addition is commutative. That is, Commutative Property of Matrix Addition A + B = B + A

Matrix addition is also associative. That is, Associative Property of Matrix Addition 1A + B2 + C = A + 1B + C2 Although we do not prove these results, the proofs, as the following example illustrates, are based on the commutative and associative properties for real numbers.

A matrix whose entries are all equal to 0 is called a zero matrix. Each of the following matrices is a zero matrix. J

 1 by 3 zero matrix

3 0 0 04

Zero matrices have properties similar to the real number 0. If A is an m by n matrix and 0 is the m by n zero matrix, then A + 0 = 0 + A = A In other words, a zero matrix is the additive identity in matrix algebra.

Find Scalar Multiples of a Matrix We can also multiply a matrix by a real number. If k is a real number and A is an m by n matrix, the matrix kA is the m by n matrix formed by multiplying each entry aij in A by k. The number k is sometimes referred to as a scalar, and the matrix kA is called a scalar multiple of A.

3 Find the Product of Two Matrices Unlike the straightforward definition for adding two matrices, the definition for multiplying two matrices is not what might be expected. In preparation for the definition, we need the following definitions:

A column vector C is an n by 1 matrix

Using Matrices to Compute Revenue A clothing store sells men’s shirts for $40, silk ties for $20, and wool suits for $400. Last month, the store sold 100 shirts, 200 ties, and 50 suits. What was the total revenue from these sales?

Solution

Set up a row vector R to represent the prices of these three items and a column vector C to represent the corresponding number of items sold. Then Prices Shirts Ties Suits

R = 3 40 20 400 4

Number sold

100 Shirts C = C 200 S Ties 50 Suits

The total revenue from these sales equals the product RC. That is, 100 RC = 3 40 20 400 4 C 200 S 50

The definition for multiplying two matrices is based on the definition of a row vector times a column vector. DEFINITION  Matrix Multiplication Let A denote an m by r matrix and B denote an r by n matrix. The product AB is defined as the m by n matrix whose entry in row i, column j is the product of the ith row of A and the jth column of B.

The definition of the product AB of two matrices A and B, in this order, requires that the number of columns of A equals the number of rows of B; otherwise, the product is not defined. A       m by r

In Words

To find the product AB, the number of columns in the left matrix A must equal the number of rows in the right matrix B.

B r by n Must be same for AB to be defined AB is m by n.

An example will help clarify the definition.

4 Find the Inverse of a Matrix DEFINITION  Inverse of a Matrix Let A be a square n by n matrix. If there exists an n by n matrix A-1 (read as “A inverse”) for which AA-1 = A-1A = In then A-1 is called the inverse of the matrix A.

CHAPTER 11  Systems of Equations and Inequalities

Historical Feature

M Arthur Cayley (1821–1895)

atrices were invented in 1857 by Arthur Cayley (1821—1895) as a way of efficiently computing the result of substituting one linear system into another (see Historical Problem 3).The resulting system had incredible richness, in the sense that a wide variety of mathematical systems could be mimicked by the matrices. Cayley and his friend

James J. Sylvester (1814—1897) spent much of the rest of their lives elaborating the theory. The torch was then passed to Georg Frobenius (1849—1917), whose deep investigations established a central place for matrices in modern mathematics. In 1924, rather to the surprise of physicists, it was found that matrices (with complex numbers in them) were exactly the right tool for describing the behavior of atomic systems. Today, matrices are used in a wide variety of applications.

Historical Problems 1. Matrices and Complex Numbers Frobenius emphasized in his research how matrices could be used to mimic other mathematical systems. Here, we mimic the behavior of complex numbers using matrices. Mathematicians call such a relationship an isomorphism.

Note that the complex number can be read off the top line of the matrix. Then

-2 d · 4 - 2i 4

(a) Find the matrices corresponding to 2 - 5i and 1 + 3i.

2. Compute 1a + bi2 1a - bi2 using matrices. Interpret the result. 3. Cayley’s Definition of Matrix Multiplication  Cayley devised matrix multiplication to simplify the following problem:

b

b

x = ku + lv y = mu + nv

(a) Find x and y in terms of r and s by substituting u and v from the first system of equations into the second system of equations. (b) Use the result of part (a) to find the 2 by 2 matrix A in

x r c d = Ac d y s

(c) Now look at the following way to do it. Write the equations in matrix form.

(b) Multiply the two matrices. (c) Find the corresponding complex number for the matrix found in part (b). (d) Multiply 2 - 5i and 1 + 3i. The result should be the same as that found in part (c). The process also works for addition and subtraction. Try it for yourself.

u = ar + bs v = cr + ds





So

u a c d = c v c

b r dc d d s

x k c d = c y m

x k c d = c y m l a dc n c

l u dc d n v

b r dc d d s

Do you see how Cayley defined matrix multiplication?

True or False  The identity matrix has properties similar to those of the real number 1. 6. If AX = B represents a matrix equation where A is a nonsingular matrix, then we can solve the equation using X = .

7. Multiple Choice  To find the product AB of two matrices A and B, which statement must be true? (a) The number of columns in A must equal the number of rows in B. (b) The number of rows in A must equal the number of columns in B. (c) A and B must have the same number of rows and the same number of columns. (d) A and B must both be square matrices. 8.

Use the following discussion for Problems 94 and 95. In graph theory, an adjacency matrix, A, is a way of representing which nodes (or vertices) are connected. For a simple directed graph, each entry, aij, is either 1 (if a direct path exists from node i to node j) or 0 (if no direct path exists from node i to node j). For example, consider the following graph and corresponding adjacency matrix. 1

The entry a14 is 1 because a direct path exists from node 1 to node 4. However, the entry a41 is 0 because no path exists from node 4 to node 1. The entry a33 is 1 because a direct path exists from node 3 to itself. The matrix Bk = A + A2 + g + Ak indicates the number of ways to get from node i to node j within k moves (steps).

Computer Graphics: Translating  An important aspect of computer graphics is the ability to transform the coordinates of points within a graphic. For transformation purposes, a x point 1x, y2 is represented as the column matrix X = £ y § . 1 To translate a point 1x, y2 horizontally h units and vertically 1 0 h k units, we use the translation matrix S = £ 0 1 k § and 0 0 1 compute the matrix product SX. The translation is to the right for h 7 0 and to the left for h 6 0. Likewise, the translation is up for k 7 0 and down for k 6 0. The transformed coordinates are the first two entries in the resulting column matrix. (a) Write the translation matrix needed to translate a point 3 units to the left and 5 units up. (b) Find and interpret S -1. 97. Computer Graphics: Rotating  Besides translating a point, it is also important in computer graphics to be able to rotate a point. This is achieved by multiplying a point’s column matrix (see Problem 96) by an appropriate rotation matrix R to form the matrix product RX. For example, to rotate 1 23 0 2 2 1 a point 60°, the rotation matrix is R = E 23 U. 0 2 2 0 0 1 (a) Write the coordinates of the point 16, 42 after it has been rotated 60°.

Decomposing a rational expression into a sum of partial fractions is important in solving certain types of calculus problems. This section presents a systematic way to decompose rational expressions. Recall that a rational expression is the ratio of two polynomials, say P and Q ≠ 0. P Recall also that a rational expression is called proper if the degree of the polynomial Q in the numerator is less than the degree of the polynomial in the denominator. Otherwise, the rational expression is called improper. Also, we assume P and Q are in lowest terms. That is, P and Q have no common factors.

(a) The numerator, x + 5, is a polynomial of degree 1, and the denominator, x2 + 3x + 2, is a polynomial of degree 2. Since the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of the denominator, the rational expression is proper. (b) The numerator, 6x2 - x + 5, is a polynomial of degree 2, and the denominator, 3x - 2, is a polynomial of degree 1. Since the degree of the numerator is greater than the degree of the denominator, the rational expression is improper. We use long division to rewrite this expression as the sum of a polynomial and a proper rational expression: 2x + 1 3x - 2)6x2 - x + 5 6x2 - 4x 3x + 5 3x - 2 7 So,

Because by using long division, every improper rational expression can be written as the sum of a polynomial and a proper rational expression, we restrict the discussion that follows to proper rational expressions. P The partial fraction decomposition of the rational expression , in lowest Q terms, depends on the factors of the denominator Q. Recall from Section 4.7 that any polynomial with real coefficients can be factored over the real numbers into a product of linear and/or irreducible quadratic factors.

CHAPTER 11  Systems of Equations and Inequalities

P This means that the denominator Q of the rational expression contains only Q factors of one or both of the following types: • Linear factors of the form x - a, where a is a real number. • Irreducible quadratic factors of the form ax2 + bx + c, where a, b, and c are real numbers, a ≠ 0, and b2 - 4ac 6 0. The negative discriminant guarantees that ax2 + bx + c cannot be written as the product of two linear factors with real coefficients. As it turns out, there are four cases to be examined. We begin with the case for which Q has only nonrepeated linear factors. Throughout we assume the rational P expression is in lowest terms. Q

Solution

First, factor the denominator, x2 - 5x + 6 = 1x - 22 1x - 32

and notice that the denominator contains only nonrepeated linear factors. Then decompose the rational expression according to equation (1):

x A B = + (2) x - 2 x - 3 x - 5x + 6 2

where A and B are numbers to be determined. To find A and B, clear the fractions by multiplying both sides by 1x - 22 1x - 32 = x2 - 5x + 6. The result is



x = A 1x - 32 + B 1x - 22(3)

x = 1A + B2x + 1 - 3A - 2B2

This equation is an identity in x. Equate the coefficients of like powers of x to get b

1 = A + B 0 = - 3A - 2B

Equate the coefficients of x: 1x = (A + B)x. Equate the constants: 0 = −3A − 2B.

This system of two equations containing two variables, A and B, can be solved using whatever method you wish. The solution is A = -2

B = 3

From equation (2), the partial fraction decomposition is x -2 3 = + x - 2 x - 3 x - 5x + 6 2

Check: The decomposition can be checked by adding the rational expressions. - 21x - 32 + 31x - 22 -2 3 x + = = x - 2 x - 3 1x - 22 1x - 32 1x - 22 1x - 32 =

x x - 5x + 6 2

The numbers to be found in the partial fraction decomposition can sometimes be found more easily by using suitable choices for x in the identity obtained after fractions have been cleared. In Example 2, the identity after clearing fractions is equation (3): x = A 1x - 32 + B 1x - 22

Let x = 2 in this expression, and the term containing B drops out, leaving 2 = A 1 - 12, or A = - 2. Similarly, let x = 3, and the term containing A drops out, leaving 3 = B. As before, A = - 2 and B = 3. Now Work   p r o b l e m 1 7

Now write x + 2 A B C = + (4) + x x - 1 x3 - 2x2 + x 1x - 12 2



Again, clear fractions by multiplying both sides by x3 - 2x2 + x = x1x - 12 2. The result is the identity x + 2 = A 1x - 12 2 + Bx1x - 12 + Cx(5)



Let x = 0 in this expression and the terms containing B and C drop out, leaving 2 = A 1 - 12 2, or A = 2. Similarly, let x = 1, and the terms containing A and B drop out, leaving 3 = C. Then equation (5) becomes x + 2 = 21x - 12 2 + Bx1x - 12 + 3x

Let x = 2 (any number other than 0 or 1 will work as well). The result is 4 = 2 # 12 + B # 2 # 1 + 3 # 2

OBJECTIVES 1  Solve a System of Nonlinear Equations Using Substitution (p. 785)



2  Solve a System of Nonlinear Equations Using Elimination (p. 786)

In Section 11.1, we observed that the solution to a system of linear equations could be found geometrically by determining the point(s) of intersection (if any) of the equations in the system. Similarly, in solving systems of nonlinear equations, the solution(s) also represent(s) the point(s) of intersection (if any) of the graphs of the equations. There is no general method for solving a system of nonlinear equations. Sometimes substitution is best; other times elimination is best; and sometimes neither of these methods works. Experience and a certain degree of imagination are your allies here. Before we begin, two comments are in order. • If the system contains two variables and if the equations in the system are easy to graph, then graph them. By graphing each equation in the system, you can get an idea of how many solutions a system has and approximate their location. • Extraneous solutions can creep in when solving nonlinear systems, so it is imperative to check all apparent solutions.

The system apparently has two solutions. To use substitution to solve the system, we choose to solve equation (1) for y. 3x - y = - 2   Equation (1) y = 3x + 2 Substitute this expression for y in equation (2). The result is an equation containing just the variable x, which we can solve.

There are four solutions: x = 3, y = 2; x = - 3, y = 2; x = 2, y = - 3; and x = - 2, y = - 3. You should verify that these four solutions also satisfy equation (1), so all four are solutions of the system.

Running a Long-Distance Race In a 50-mile race, the winner crosses the finish line 1 mile ahead of the secondplace runner and 4 miles ahead of the third-place runner. Assuming that each runner maintains a constant speed throughout the race, by how many miles does the secondplace runner beat the third-place runner?

1 mile

3 miles

Solution

Let v1, v2, and v3 denote the speeds of the first-, second-, and third-place runners, respectively. Let t 1 and t 2 denote the times (in hours) required for the first-place runner and the second-place runner to finish the race. Then the following system of equations results: 50 49 d 46 50

= = = =

v1 t 1 v2 t 1   v3 t 1 v2 t 2

(1) First@place runner goes 50 miles in t1 hours. (2) Second@place runner goes 49 miles in t1 hours. (3) Third@place runner goes 46 miles in t1 hours. (4) Second@place runner goes 50 miles in t2 hours.

We want the distance d of the third-place runner from the finish at time t 2 . At time t 2, the third-place runner has gone a distance of v3 t 2 miles, so the distance d remaining is 50 - v3 t 2 . Now d = 50 - v3 t 2 = 50 - v3 t 1 #

t2 t1

50 v2 = 50 - 46 # 50 v1 v1 = 50 - 46 # v2 = 50 - 46 #

Multiply and divide by t1. From equation (3), v3 t1 = 46 50 e From equation (4), t2 = v2 50 From equation (1), t1 = v1

Historical Feature

I

n the beginning of this section, it was stated that imagination and experience are important in solving systems of nonlinear equations. Indeed, these kinds of problems lead into some of the deepest and most difficult parts of modern mathematics. Look again at the graphs in Examples 1 and 2 of this section (Figures 9 and 10). Example 1 has two solutions, and Example 2 has four solutions. We might conjecture that the number of solutions is equal to the product of the degrees of the equations involved. This conjecture was made

by Étienne Bézout (1730—1783), but working out the details took about 150 years. It turns out that arriving at the correct number of intersections requires counting not only the complex number intersections, but also those intersections that, in a certain sense, lie at infinity. For example, a parabola and a line lying on the axis of the parabola intersect at the vertex and at infinity. This topic is part of the study of algebraic geometry.

First, an equation of the tangent line can be written as y = mx + b. Using the fact that the point 12, 42 is on the line, we can solve for b in terms of m and get the equation y = mx + 14 - 2m2. Now we want 12, 42 to be the unique solution to the system b

y

y = x2 y = mx + 4 - 2m

From this system, we get x2 - mx + 12m - 42 = 0. Using the quadratic formula, we get x

x =

m { 2m2 - 412m - 42 2

To obtain a unique solution for x, the two roots must be equal; in other words, the discriminant m2 - 412m - 42 must be 0. Complete the work to get m, and write an equation of the tangent line.

Graph an Inequality An inequality in two variables x and y is satisfied by an ordered pair 1a, b2 if, when x is replaced by a and y by b, a true statement results. The graph of an inequality in two variables x and y consists of all points 1x, y2 whose coordinates satisfy the inequality.

Graphing an Inequality Graph the linear inequality:  3x + y … 6

Solution

Begin by graphing the equation 3x + y = 6 formed by replacing (for now) the … symbol with an = sign. The graph of the equation is a line. See Figure 12(a). This line is part of the graph of the inequality because the inequality is nonstrict, so the line is drawn as a solid line. (Do you see why? We are seeking points for which 3x + y is less than or equal to 6.) y

Look again at Figure 12(a). Notice that the two points that belong to the graph both lie on the same side of the line, and the two points that do not belong to the graph lie on the opposite side. As it turns out, all the points that satisfy the inequality will lie on one side of the line or on the line itself. All the points that do not satisfy the inequality will lie on the other side. The graph of 3x + y … 6 consists of all points that lie on the line or on the same side of the line as 1 - 1, 22 and 1 - 2, - 22 . This graph is shown as the shaded region in Figure 12(b).

The graph of any inequality in two variables may be obtained similarly. The steps to follow are given next. RECALL  The strict inequalities are 6 and 7. The nonstrict inequalities are … and Ú . j

E XAM PLE 3

Steps for Graphing an Inequality Step 1: Replace the inequality symbol by an equal sign, and graph the resulting equation. If the inequality is strict, use dashes; if it is nonstrict, use a solid mark. This graph separates the xy-plane into two or more regions. Step 2: In each region, select a test point P. • If the coordinates of P satisfy the inequality, so do all the points in that region. Indicate this by shading the region. • If the coordinates of P do not satisfy the inequality, no point in that region satisfies the inequality.

where A and B are not both zero. The graph of the corresponding equation of a linear inequality is a line that separates the xy-plane into two regions called half-planes. See Figure 14. As shown, Ax + By = C is the equation of the boundary line, and it divides the plane into two half-planes: one for which Ax + By 6 C and the other for which Ax + By 7 C. Because of this, for linear inequalities, only one test point is required.

Graph a System of Inequalities The graph of a system of inequalities in two variables x and y is the set of all points 1x, y2 that simultaneously satisfy each inequality in the system. The graph of a system of inequalities can be obtained by graphing each inequality individually and then determining where, if at all, they intersect.

Solution

x + y Ú 2 2x - y … 4

Begin by graphing the lines x + y = 2 and 2x - y = 4 using a solid line since both inequalities are nonstrict. Use the test point 10, 02 on each inequality. For example, 10, 02 does not satisfy x + y Ú 2, so shade above the line x + y = 2. See Figure 17(a). But 10, 02 does satisfy 2x - y … 4, so shade above the line 2x - y = 4. See Figure 17(b). The intersection of the shaded regions (in purple) gives the result presented in Figure 17(c).

11.8  Linear Programming

OBJECTIVES 1  Set Up a Linear Programming Problem  (p. 802)

2  Solve a Linear Programming Problem  (p. 802)

Historically, linear programming evolved as a technique for solving problems involving resource allocation of goods and materials for the U.S. Air Force during World War II. Today, linear programming techniques are used to solve a wide variety of problems, such as optimizing airline scheduling. Although most practical linear programming problems involve systems of several hundred linear inequalities containing several hundred variables, we limit our discussion to problems containing only two variables, because we can solve such problems using graphing techniques.* *The simplex method is a way to solve linear programming problems involving many inequalities and variables. Developed by George Dantzig in 1946, it is particularly well suited for ­computerization. In 1984, Narendra Karmarkar of Bell Laboratories discovered a way to improve the simplex method.

CHAPTER 11  Systems of Equations and Inequalities

Set Up a Linear Programming Problem Let’s begin by returning to Example 10 from Section 11.7.

E XAM PLE 1

Financial Planning A retired couple has up to $25,000 to invest. As their financial adviser, you recommend that they place at least $15,000 in Treasury bills yielding 2% and at most $5000 in corporate bonds yielding 3%. Develop a model that can be used to determine how much money they should place in each investment so that income is maximized.

Solution

The problem is typical of a linear programming problem. The problem requires that a certain linear function, the income, be maximized. If I represents income, x the amount invested in Treasury bills at 2%, and y the amount invested in corporate bonds at 3%, then I = 0.02x + 0.03y Assume, as before, that I, x, and y are in thousands of dollars. The linear function I = 0.02x + 0.03y is called the objective function. Further, the problem requires that the maximum income be achieved under certain conditions, or constraints, each of which is a linear inequality involving the variables. (See Example 10 in Section 11.7.) The linear programming problem is modeled as Maximize

I = 0.02x + 0.03y

In general, every linear programming problem has two components: • A linear objective function that is to be maximized or minimized • A collection of linear inequalities that must be satisfied simultaneously

DEFINITION  Linear Programming Problem A linear programming problem in two variables x and y consists of maximizing (or minimizing) a linear objective function z = Ax + By A and B are real numbers, not both 0 subject to certain constraints, or conditions, expressible as linear inequalities in x and y.

Solve a Linear Programming Problem To maximize (or minimize) the quantity z = Ax + By, we need to identify points 1x, y2 that make the expression for z the largest (or smallest) possible. But not all points 1x, y2 are eligible; only those that also satisfy each linear inequality (constraint) can be used. Each point 1x, y2 that satisfies the system of linear inequalities (the constraints) is a feasible point. Linear programming problems seek the feasible point(s) that maximizes (or minimizes) the objective function.

DEFINITION  Solution to a Linear Programming Problem A solution to a linear programming problem consists of a feasible point that maximizes (or minimizes) the objective function, together with the corresponding value of the objective function. RECALL:  The graph of a system of linear inequalities is bounded if it can be enclosed by a circle of sufficiently large radius. j

One condition for a linear programming problem in two variables to have a solution is that the graph of the feasible points be bounded. If none of the feasible points maximizes (or minimizes) the objective function or if there are no feasible points, the linear programming problem has no solution. Consider the linear programming problem posed in Example 2, and look again at Figure 24. The feasible points are the points that lie in the shaded region. For example, 120, 32 is a feasible point, as are 115, 52 , 120, 52 , 118, 42 , and so on. To find the solution of the problem requires finding a feasible point 1x, y2 that makes I = 0.02x + 0.03y as large as possible.

804 

CHAPTER 11  Systems of Equations and Inequalities

Notice that as I increases in value from I = 0 to I = 0.3 to I = 0.45 to I = 0.55 to I = 0.6, the result is a collection of parallel lines. Further, notice that the largest value of I that can be obtained using feasible points is I = 0.55, which corresponds to the line 0.55 = 0.02x + 0.03y. Any larger value of I results in a line that does not pass through any feasible points. Finally, notice that the feasible point that yields I = 0.55 is the point 120, 52, a corner point. These observations form the basis of the following results, which are stated without proof. THEOREM  Location of the Solution of a Linear Programming Problem

• If a linear programming problem has a solution, it is located at a corner point of the graph of the feasible points.

• If a linear programming problem has multiple solutions, at least one of •

them is located at a corner point of the graph of the feasible points. In either case, the corresponding value of the objective function is unique.

We do not consider linear programming problems that have no solution. As a result, we can outline the procedure for solving a linear programming problem as follows: Steps for Solving a Linear Programming Problem Step 1: Assign symbols for the variables in the problem, and write an expression for the quantity to be maximized (or minimized). This expression is the objective function. Step 2: Write all the constraints as a system of linear inequalities. Step 3: Graph the system (the set of feasible points) and find the corner points. Step 4: Evaluate the objective function at each corner point. The largest (or smallest) of these is the solution.

Maximizing Profit At the end of every month, after filling orders for its regular customers, a coffee company has some pure Colombian coffee and some special-blend coffee remaining. The practice of the company has been to package a mixture of the two coffees into 1-pound (lb) packages as follows: a low-grade mixture containing 4 ounces (oz) of Colombian coffee and 12 oz of special-blend coffee, and a high-grade mixture containing 8 oz of Colombian and 8 oz of special-blend coffee. A profit of $1.25 per package is made on the low-grade mixture, whereas a profit of $1.75 per package is made on the high-grade mixture. This month, 120 lb of special-blend coffee and 100 lb of pure Colombian coffee remain. How many packages of each mixture should be prepared to achieve a maximum profit? Assume that all packages prepared can be sold.

Solution

Step 1:  Begin by assigning symbols for the two variables. x = Number of packages of the low@grade mixture y = Number of packages of the high@grade mixture The goal is to maximize the profit subject to constraints on x and y. If P denotes the profit, then the objective function is P = $1.25x + $1.75y Step 2:  Because x and y represent numbers of packages, the only meaningful values for x and y are nonnegative integers. This yields the two constraints x Ú 0

y Ú 0  Nonnegative constraints

There is only so much of each type of coffee available. For example, the total amount of Colombian coffee used in the two mixtures cannot exceed 100 lb, or 1600 oz. Because 4 oz are used in each low-grade package and 8 oz are used in each high-grade package, this leads to the constraint 4x + 8y … 1600  Colombian coffee constraint Similarly, the supply of 120 lb, or 1920 oz, of special-blend coffee leads to the constraint 12x + 8y … 1920  Special-blend coffee constraint The linear programming problem is Maximize

Production Scheduling  In a factory, machine 1 produces 8-inch (in.) pliers at the rate of 60 units per hour (h) and 6-in. pliers at the rate of 70 units/h. Machine 2 produces 8-in. pliers at the rate of 40 units/h and 6-in. pliers at the rate of 20 units/h. It costs $50/h to operate machine 1, and machine 2 costs $30/h to operate. The production schedule requires that at least 240 units of 8-in. pliers and at least 140 units of 6-in. pliers be produced during each 10-h day. Which combination of machines will cost the least money to operate? 25. Managing a Meat Market  A meat market combines ground beef and ground pork in a single package for meat loaf. The ground beef is 75% lean (75% beef, 25% fat) and costs the market $2.25 per pound (lb). The ground pork is 60% lean and costs the market $1.35/lb. The meat loaf must be at least 70% lean. If the market wants to make at least 180 lb of meat loaf by using at least 50 lb of its available pork, but no more than 200 lb of its available ground beef, how much ground beef should be mixed with ground pork so that the cost is minimized? 75% lean ground beef

27. Maximizing Profit on Ice Skates  A factory manufactures two kinds of ice skates: racing skates and figure skates. The racing skates require 6 work-hours in the fabrication department, whereas the figure skates require 4 work-hours there. The racing skates require 1 work-hour in the finishing department, whereas the figure skates require 2 work-hours there. The fabricating department has available at most 120 work-hours per day, and the finishing department has no more than 40 work-hours per day available. If the profit on each racing skate is $10 and the profit on each figure skate is $12, how many of each should be manufactured each day to maximize profit? (Assume that all skates made are sold.) 28. Financial Planning  A retired couple have up to $50,000 to place in fixed-income securities. Their financial adviser suggests two securities to them: one is an AAA bond that yields 8% per annum; the other is a certificate of deposit (CD) that yields 4%. After careful consideration of the alternatives, the couple decide to place at most $20,000 in the AAA bond and at least $15,000 in the CD. They also instruct the financial adviser to place at least as much in the CD as in the AAA bond. How should the financial adviser proceed to maximize the return on their investment? 29. Product Design  An entrepreneur is having a design group produce at least six samples of a new kind of fastener that he wants to market. It costs $9.00 to produce each metal fastener and $4.00 to produce each plastic fastener. He wants to have at least two of each version of the fastener and needs to have all the samples 24 hours (h) from now. It takes 4 h to produce each metal sample and 2 h to produce each plastic sample. To minimize the cost of the samples, how many of each kind should the entrepreneur order? What will be the cost of the samples?

30. Animal Nutrition  Kevin’s dog Amadeus likes two kinds of canned dog food. Gourmet Dog costs $1.40 per can and has 20 units of a vitamin complex; the calorie content is 75 calories. Chow Hound costs $1.12 per can and has 35 units of vitamins and 50 calories. Kevin likes Amadeus to have at least 1175 units of vitamins a month and at least 2375 calories during the same time period. Kevin has space to store only 60 cans of dog food at a time. How much of each kind of dog food should Kevin buy each month to minimize his cost? 31. Airline Revenue  An airline has two classes of service: first class and coach. Management’s experience has been that each aircraft should have at least 8 but no more than 16 first-class seats and at least 80 but no more than 120 coach seats.

(a) If management decides that the ratio of first class to coach seats should never exceed 1:12, with how many of each type of seat should an aircraft be configured to maximize revenue? (b) If management decides that the ratio of first class to coach seats should never exceed 1:8, with how many of each type of seat should an aircraft be configured to maximize revenue? (c) If you were management, what would you do? [Hint: Assume that the airline charges $C for a coach seat and $F for a first-class seat; C 7 0, F 7 C.] 32.

61. Minimizing Production Cost  A factory produces gasoline engines and diesel engines. Each week the factory is obligated to deliver at least 20 gasoline engines and at least 15 diesel engines. Due to physical limitations, however, the factory cannot make more than 60 gasoline engines or more than 40 diesel engines in any given week. Finally, to prevent layoffs, a total of at least 50 engines must be produced. If gasoline engines cost $450 each to produce and diesel engines cost $550 each to produce, how many of each should be produced per week to minimize the cost? What is the excess capacity of the factory? That is, how many of each kind of engine are being produced in excess of the number that the factory is obligated to deliver? 62. Describe four ways of solving a system of three linear equations containing three variables. Which method do you prefer? Why?

CHAPTER 11  Systems of Equations and Inequalities

Chapter Projects I. Markov Chains  A Markov chain (or process) is one in which future outcomes are determined by a current state. Future outcomes are based on probabilities. The probability of moving to a certain state depends only on the state previously occupied and does not vary with time. An example of a Markov chain is the maximum education achieved by children based on the highest educational level attained by their parents, where the states are (1) earned college degree, (2) high school diploma only, (3) elementary school only. If pij is the probability of moving from state i to state j, the transition matrix is the m by m matrix p11 p12 f P = C f pm1 pm2

The table represents the probabilities for the highest educational level of children based on the highest educational level of their parents. For example, the table shows that the probability p21 is 40% that parents with a high-school education (row 2) will have children with a college education (column 1).

The row vector y102 = 30.342 0.554 0.1044 represents the proportion of the U.S. population 25 years or older that has college, high school, and elementary school, respectively, as the highest educational level in 2017.* In a Markov chain the probability distribution y1k2 after k stages is y 1k2 = y102P k, where P k is the kth power of the transition matrix. What will be the distribution of highest educational attainment of the grandchildren of the current population?

Sequences; Induction; the Binomial Theorem World Population Projected to Reach 9.8 Billion by 2050 The current world population of 7.6 billion is expected to reach 8.6 billion by 2030, 9.8 billion in 2050, and 11.2 billion in 2100, according to a United Nations DESA report titled “World Population Prospects: The 2017 Revision.” Most of the projected increase in the world’s population can be attributed to a short list of high-fertility countries, mainly in Africa and countries that already have large populations. During 2017–2050, half of the world’s population growth is expected to be concentrated in nine countries: India, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Pakistan, Ethiopia, United Republic of  Tanzania, United States of America, Uganda, and Indonesia (listed in order of the size of their contribution to the total population growth). Among the ten countries with the largest populations, Nigeria is growing the most rapidly. Currently ranked seventh, Nigeria is projected to become the third largest shortly before 2050. China and India remain the two countries with the largest populations. With more than 1 billion people each, they represent 19% and 18% of the world’s population, respectively. By 2024, the population of India is expected to surpass that of China. Future population growth is highly dependent on the path of future fertility. Relatively small changes in the fertility rate, when projected over decades, can generate large differences in total population. In recent years, the fertility rate has declined in virtually all areas of the world, even in Africa, where fertility levels remain the highest of all major areas. Europe has been an exception to this trend in recent years, with the mean total fertility rate increasing from 1.4 births per woman in 2000 to 1.6 in 2015.

A Look Back, A Look Ahead This chapter is divided into three independent parts: Sections 12.1—12.3, Section 12.4, and Section 12.5. In Chapter 2, we defined a function and its domain, which was usually some set of real numbers. In Sections 12.1—12.3, we discuss a sequence, which is a function whose domain is the set of positive integers. Throughout this text, where it seemed appropriate, we gave proofs of the results. In Section 12.4, a technique for proving theorems involving natural numbers is discussed. In Appendix A, Section A.3, there are formulas for expanding 1x + a2 2 and 1x + a2 3. In Section 12.5, we discuss the Binomial Theorem, a formula for the expansion of 1x + a2 n, where n is any positive integer. The topics introduced in this chapter are covered in more detail in courses titled Discrete Mathematics. Applications of these topics are found in the fields of computer science, engineering, business and economics, the social sciences, and the physical and biological sciences.

OBJECTIVES 1  List the First Several Terms of a Sequence (p. 816)



2  List the Terms of a Sequence Defined by a Recursive Formula (p. 819) 3  Use Summation Notation (p. 820) 4  Find the Sum of a Sequence (p. 821)

When you hear the word sequence as it is used in the phrase “a sequence of events,” you probably think of a collection of events, one of which happens first, another second, and so on. In mathematics, the word sequence also refers to outcomes that are first, second, and so on. DEFINITION  Sequence A sequence is a function whose domain is the set of positive integers and whose range is a subset of the real numbers. In a sequence, the inputs are 1, 2, 3, c . Because a sequence is a function, it has 1 a graph. Figure 1(a) shows the graph of the function f 1x2 = , x 7 0. If all the x ­ ositive points on this graph were removed except those whose x-coordinates are p 1 1 integers—that is, if all points were removed except 11, 12 , a2, b , a3, b , and 2 3 1 so on—the remaining points would be the graph of the sequence f 1n2 = , as n shown in Figure 1(b). Note that n is used to represent the independent variable in a sequence. This serves to remind us that n is a positive integer. y

List the First Several Terms of a Sequence





A sequence is usually represented by listing its values in order. For example, the sequence whose graph is given in Figure 1(b) might be represented as 1 1 1 f 112, f122, f132, f142, c or 1, , , , c 2 3 4 The list never ends, as the ellipsis indicates. The numbers in this ordered list are called the terms of the sequence. In dealing with sequences, subscripted letters are used such as a1 to represent the first term, a2 for the second term, a3 for the third term, and so on. 1 For the sequence f 1n2 = , this means n 1 1 1 1 a1 = f112 = 1, a2 = f 122 = , a3 = f132 = , a4 = f 142 = , c, an = f 1n2 = , c n 2 3 4 8 8 8 8 8 first term

In other words, the traditional function notation f1n2 is typically not used for 1 sequences. For the sequence f1n2 =  , we have a rule for the nth term, which n 1 is an = , so it is easy to find any term of the sequence. n When a formula for the nth term (sometimes called the general term) of a sequence is known, the entire sequence can be represented by placing braces around the formula for the nth term. 1 n For example, the sequence whose nth term is bn = a b can be represented by 2 1 n 5 bn 6 = e a b f 2

Figure 4 shows a graph of the sequence after pressing Y = in SEQuence mode and entering the formula for the sequence. Note that the first term of the sequence is barely visible since it lies on the x-axis. TRACEing the graph will enable you to see the terms of the sequence. The TABLE feature can also be used to generate the terms of the sequence. See Table 1.

List the Terms of a Sequence Defined by a Recursive Formula A second way of defining a sequence is to assign a value to the first (or the first few) term(s) and specify the nth term by a formula or equation that involves one or more of the terms preceding it. Such sequences are said to be defined recursively, and the rule or formula is called a recursive formula.

Listing the Terms of a Recursively Defined Sequence List the first five terms of the recursively defined sequence s1 = 1

The first term is given as s1 = 1. To get the second term, use n = 2 in the formula sn = nsn - 1 to get s2 = 2s1 = 2 # 1 = 2. To get the third term, use n = 3 in the formula to get s3 = 3s2 = 3 # 2 = 6. To get a new term requires knowing the value of the preceding term. The first five terms are s1 s2 s3 s4 s5

3 Use Summation Notation It is often important to find the sum of the first n terms of a sequence 5 an 6 , namely a1 + a2 + a3 + g + an

Rather than writing down all these terms, we use summation notation to express the sum more concisely: a1 + a2 + a3 + g + an = a ak n

k=1

The symbol Σ (the Greek letter sigma, which is an S in our alphabet) is simply an instruction to sum, or add up, the terms. The integer k is called the index of the sum; it tells where to start the sum and where to end it. The expression a ak n

k=1

is an instruction to add the terms ak of the sequence 5 an 6 starting with k = 1 and ending with k = n. The expression is read as “the sum of ak from k = 1 to k = n.”

This is a system of two linear equations containing two variables, a1 and d, which can be solved by elimination. Subtracting the second equation from the first gives - 12d = 36 d = -3

With d = - 3, use a1 + 7d = 75 to find that a1 = 75 - 7d = 75 - 71 - 32 = 96. The first term is a1 = 96, and the common difference is d = - 3. (b) Using formula (1), a recursive formula for this sequence is a1 = 96

Creating a Floor Design A ceramic tile floor is designed in the shape of a trapezoid 20 feet wide at the base and 10 feet wide at the top. See Figure 7. The tiles, which measure 12 inches by 12 inches, are to be placed so that each successive row contains one fewer tile than the preceding row. How many tiles will be required?

Solution

The bottom row requires 20 tiles and the top row, 10 tiles. Since each successive row requires one fewer tile, the total number of tiles required is S = 20 + 19 + 18 + g + 11 + 10 This is the sum of an arithmetic sequence; the common difference is - 1. The number of terms to be added is n = 11, with the first term a1 = 20 and the last term a11 = 10. The sum S is S =

5 Solve Annuity Problems Section 5.7 developed the compound interest formula, which gives the future value when a fixed amount of money is deposited in an account that pays interest compounded periodically. Often, though, money is invested in small amounts at periodic intervals. An annuity is a sequence of equal periodic deposits. The periodic deposits may be made annually, quarterly, monthly, or daily. When deposits are made at the same time that the interest is credited, the annuity is called ordinary. We discuss only ordinary annuities here. The amount of an annuity is the sum of all deposits made plus all interest paid. Suppose that the interest rate that an account earns is i percent per payment period (expressed as a decimal). For example, if an account pays 12% compounded 0.12 monthly (12 times a year), then i = = 0.01. If an account pays 8% compounded 12 0.08 quarterly (4 times a year), then i = = 0.02. 4 To develop a formula for the amount of an annuity, suppose that $P is deposited each payment period for n payment periods in an account that earns i percent per payment period. When the last deposit is made at the nth payment period, the first deposit of $P has earned interest compounded for n - 1 payment periods, the second deposit of $P has earned interest compounded for n - 2 payment periods, and so on. Table 3 shows the value of each deposit after n deposits have been made. Table 3

The amount A of the annuity is the sum of the amounts shown in Table 3; that is, A = P # 11 + i2 n - 1 + P # 11 + i2 n - 2 + g + P # 11 + i2 + P = P3 1 + 11 + i2 + g + 11 + i2 n - 1 4

The expression in brackets is the sum of a geometric sequence with n terms and a common ratio of 11 + i2. As a result, A = P3 1 + 11 + i2 + g + 11 + i2 n - 2 + 11 + i2 n - 1 4 = P

1 - 11 + i2 n 1 - 11 + i2 n 11 + i2 n - 1 = P = P 1 - 11 + i2 -i i

The following theorem has been proved: THEOREM  Amount of an Annuity

Suppose that P is the deposit in dollars made at the end of each payment period for an annuity paying i percent interest per payment period. The amount A of the annuity after n deposits is

A = P

11 + i2 n - 1 (9) i

NOTE  In formula (9), remember that when the nth deposit is made, the first deposit has earned interest for n - 1 compounding periods and the nth deposit has earned no interest. j

Determining the Amount of an Annuity To save for retirement, Brett decides to place $4000 into an individual retirement account (IRA) each year for the next 30 years. What will the value of the IRA be when Brett makes his 30th deposit? Assume that the rate of return of the IRA is 7% per annum compounded annually. (This is the historical rate of return in the stock market.)

Historical Feature

S

equences are among the oldest objects of mathematical investigation, having been studied for over 3500 years. After the initial steps, however, little progress was made until about 1600. Arithmetic and geometric sequences appear in the Rhind papyrus, a mathematical text Fibonacci containing 85 problems copied around 1650 BC by the Egyptian scribe Ahmes from an earlier work (see Historical Problem 1). Fibonacci (AD 1220) wrote about problems similar to those found in the Rhind papyrus, leading one to suspect that Fibonacci may have had material available that is now lost. This material would have been in the non-Euclidean Greek tradition of Heron (about AD 75) and

Diophantus (about AD 250). One problem, again modified slightly, is still with us in the familiar puzzle rhyme “As I was going to St. Ives . . . ” (see Historical Problem 2). The Rhind papyrus indicates that the Egyptians knew how to add up the terms of an arithmetic or geometric sequence, as did the Babylonians. The rule for summing up a geometric sequence is found in Euclid’s Elements (Book IX, 35, 36), where, like all Euclid’s algebra, it is presented in a geometric form. Investigations of other kinds of sequences began in the 1500s, when algebra became sufficiently developed to handle the more complicated problems. The development of calculus in the 1600s added a powerful new tool, especially for finding the sum of an infinite series, and the subject continues to flourish today.

Historical Problems 1. Arithmetic sequence problem from the Rhind papyrus (statement modified slightly for clarity) One hundred loaves of bread are to be divided among five people so that the amounts that they receive form an arithmetic sequence. The first two together receive one-seventh of what the last three receive. How many loaves does each receive? 2 [Partial answer: First person receives 1 loaves.] 3 2. The following old English children’s rhyme resembles one of the Rhind papyrus problems. As I was going to St. Ives I met a man with seven wives

Each wife had seven sacks Each sack had seven cats Each cat had seven kits [kittens] Kits, cats, sacks, wives How many were going to St. Ives? (a) Assuming that the speaker and the cat fanciers met by traveling in opposite directions, what is the answer? (b)  How many kittens are being transported? (c)  Kits, cats, sacks, wives; how many?

12.4  Mathematical Induction OBJECTIVE 1  Prove Statements Using Mathematical Induction (p. 845)



Prove Statements Using Mathematical Induction Mathematical induction is a method for proving that statements involving natural ­numbers are true for all natural numbers.* For example, the statement “the sum of the first n positive odd integers equals n2,” that is, 1 + 3 + 5 + g + 12n - 12 = n2(1)

can be proved for all natural numbers n by using mathematical induction. Before stating the method of mathematical induction, let’s try to gain a sense of the power of the method. We use the statement in equation (1) for this purpose by restating it for various values of n = 1, 2, 3, c. n = 1 The sum of the first positive odd integer is 12 ; 1 = 12. n = 2 The sum of the first 2 positive odd integers is 22 ; 1 + 3 = 4 = 22. n = 3 The sum of the first 3 positive odd integers is 32 ; 1 + 3 + 5 = 9 = 32 . n = 4 The sum of the first 4 positive odd integers is 42 ; 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 = 16 = 42. Although from this pattern we might conjecture that statement (1) is true for any natural number n, can we really be sure that it does not fail for some choice of n? The method of proof by mathematical induction allows us to prove that the statement is true for all n. THEOREM  The Principle of Mathematical Induction Suppose that the following two conditions are satisfied with regard to a statement about natural numbers: CONDITION I:­ The statement is true for the natural number 1. ­ CONDITION II:­ If the statement is true for some natural number k, and it can be shown to be true for the next natural number k + 1,­ then the statement is true for all natural numbers. The following physical interpretation illustrates why the principle works. Think of a collection of natural numbers obeying a statement as a collection of infinitely many dominoes. See Figure 10. Now, suppose that two facts are given: 1.  The first domino is pushed over. 2.  If one domino falls over, say the kth domino, so will the next one, the 1k + 12st domino. Is it safe to conclude that all the dominoes fall over? The answer is yes, because if the first one falls (Condition I), the second one does also (by Condition II); and if the second one falls, so does the third (by Condition II); and so on.

Using Mathematical Induction Show that the following statement is true for all natural numbers n. 1 + 3 + 5 + g + 12n - 12 = n2(2)

*Recall that the natural numbers are the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, . . . . In other words, the terms natural numbers and positive integers are synonymous.

Using Mathematical Induction Show that 3n - 1 is divisible by 2 for all natural numbers n.

Solution

First, show that the statement is true when n = 1. Because 31 - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2 is divisible by 2, the statement is true when n = 1. Condition I is satisfied. Next, assume that the statement holds for some natural number k, and determine whether the statement holds for the next natural number, k + 1. Assume that 3k - 1 is divisible by 2 for some k. Now show that 3k + 1 - 1 is divisible by 2. 3k + 1 - 1 = 3k + 1 - 3k + 3k - 1

= 3k 13 - 12 + 13k - 12 = 3k # 2 + 13k - 12

  Subtract and add 3k.

Because 3k # 2 is divisible by 2 and 3k - 1 is divisible by 2, it follows that 3k # 2 + 13k - 12 = 3k + 1 - 1 is divisible by 2. Condition II is also satisfied. As a result, the statement “ 3n - 1 is divisible by 2” is true for all natural numbers n. Now Work   p r o b l e m 1 9

Formulas have been given for expanding 1x + a2 n for n = 2 and n = 3. The Binomial Theorem* is a formula for the expansion of 1x + a2 n for any positive integer n. If n = 1, 2, 3, and 4, the expansion of 1x + a2 n is straightforward. 1x + a2 1 = x + a

Two terms, beginning with x 1 and ending with a1

1x + a2 2 = x2 + 2ax + a2

Three terms, beginning with x 2 and ending with a2

1x + a2 4 = x4 + 4ax3 + 6a2x2 + 4a3 x + a4

Five terms, beginning with x 4 and ending with a4

1x + a2 3 = x3 + 3ax2 + 3a2x + a3

Four terms, beginning with x 3 and ending with a3

Notice that each expansion of 1x + a2 n begins with xn and ends with an. From left to right, the powers of x are decreasing by 1, while the powers of a are increasing by 1. Also, the number of terms equals n + 1. Notice, too, that the degree of each monomial in the expansion equals n. For example, in the expansion of 1x + a2 3, each monomial 1x3, 3ax2, 3a2x, a3 2 is of degree 3. As a result, it is reasonable to conjecture that the expansion of 1x + a2 n would look like this: 1x + a2 n = xn + ——— axn - 1 + ——— a2 xn - 2 + g + ——— an - 1 x + an

To get any other entry, add the two nearest entries in the row above it. The shaded triangles in Figure 12 illustrate this feature of the Pascal triangle.

CHAPTER 12  Sequences; Induction; the Binomial Theorem

Historical Feature

T

he case n = 2 of the Binomial Theorem, 1a + b2 2, was known to Euclid in 300 bc, but the general law seems to have been discovered by the Persian mathematician and astronomer Omar Khayyám (1048—1131), who is also well known as the author of the Rubáiyát, a collection of four-line poems making Omar Khayyám observations on the human condition. Omar (1048–1131) Khayyám did not state the Binomial Theorem explicitly, but he claimed to have a method for extracting third, fourth, fifth roots, and so on. A little study shows that one must know the Binomial Theorem to create such a method.

The heart of the Binomial Theorem is the formula for the numerical coefficients, and, as we saw, they can be written in a symmetric triangular form. The Pascal triangle appears first in the books of Yang Hui (about 1270) and Chu Shih-chieh (1303). Pascal’s name is attached to the triangle because of the many applications he made of it, especially to counting and probability. In establishing these results, he was one of the earliest users of mathematical induction. Many people worked on the proof of the Binomial Theorem, which was finally completed for all n (including complex numbers) by Niels Abel (1802—1829).

Counting and Probability

Purchasing a Lottery Ticket In recent years, the jackpot prizes for the nation’s two major multistate lotteries, Mega Millions and Powerball, have climbed to all-time highs. This has happened since Powerball (in October 2015) and Mega Millions (in October 2017) made it more difficult to win their top prizes. The probability of winning the Mega Millions jackpot is now about 1 in 303 million, and the probability for Powerball is about 1 in 292 million. With such improbable chances of winning the jackpots, one might wonder if there ever comes a point when purchasing a lottery ticket is worthwhile. One important consideration in making this determination is the expected value. For a game of chance, the expected value is a measure of how much a player will win or lose if she or he plays the game a large number of times. The project at the end of this chapter explores the expected value from playing Mega Millions and Powerball and examines how the expected value is related to the jackpot amount.

A Look Back We introduced sets in Appendix A and have been using them to represent solutions of equations and inequalities and to represent the domain and range of functions.

A Look Ahead Here we discuss methods for counting the number of elements in a set and consider the role of sets in probability.

13.1 Counting PREPARING FOR THIS SECTION  Before getting started, review the following: • Sets (Section A.1, pp. A1–A3) Now Work the ‘Are You Prepared?’ problems on page 865.

OBJECTIVES 1  Find All the Subsets of a Set  (p. 861)



2  Count the Number of Elements in a Set  (p. 861) 3  Solve Counting Problems Using the Multiplication Principle  (p. 863)

Counting plays a major role in many diverse areas, such as probability, statistics, and computer science; counting techniques are a part of a branch of mathematics called combinatorics.

Find All the Subsets of a Set We begin by reviewing the ways in which two sets can be compared. • If two sets A and B have precisely the same elements, we say that A and B are equal and write A = B. • If each element of a set A is also an element of a set B, we say that A is a subset of B and write A ⊆ B. • If A ⊆ B and A ≠ B, we say that A is a proper subset of B and write A ⊂ B. • If A ⊆ B, every element in set A is also in set B, but B may or may not have additional elements. If A ⊂ B, every element in A is also in B, and B has at least one element not found in A. • Finally, the empty set, ∅, is a subset of every set; that is, ∅⊆A

To organize the work, write down all the subsets with no elements, then those with one element, then those with two elements, and finally those with three elements. This gives all the subsets. Do you see why? 0 Elements

Count the Number of Elements in a Set

In Words

The notation n1A2 means “the number of elements in set A.”

As you count the number of students in a classroom or the number of pennies in your pocket, what you are really doing is matching, on a one-to-one basis, each object to be counted with the set of counting numbers, 1, 2, 3, c, n, for some number n. If a set A matched up in this fashion with the set 5 1, 2, c, 256 , you would conclude that there are 25 elements in the set A. The notation n 1A2 = 25 is used to indicate that there are 25 elements in the set A. Because the empty set has no elements, we write n 1∅2 = 0

If the number of elements in a set is a nonnegative integer, the set is finite. Otherwise, it is infinite. We shall concern ourselves only with finite sets.

862 

CHAPTER 13  Counting and Probability

Look again at Example 1. A set with 3 elements has 23 = 8 subsets. This result can be generalized. If A is a set with n elements, then A has 2n subsets.

E XAM PLE 2

For example, the set 5 a, b, c, d, e6 has 25 = 32 subsets.

Analyzing Survey Data

In a survey of 100 college students, 35 were registered in College Algebra, 52 were registered in Computer Science I, and 18 were registered in both courses. (a) How many students were registered in College Algebra or Computer Science I? (b) How many were registered in neither course?

Solution

Universal set A

B 17 18 34

31

Figure 1 

(a) First, let A = set of students in College Algebra B = set of students in Computer Science I Then the given information tells us that n 1A2 = 35

n 1B2 = 52

n 1A ∩ B2 = 18

Refer to Figure 1. Since n 1A ∩ B2 = 18, the common part of the circles representing set A and set B has 18 elements. In addition, the remaining portion of the circle representing set A will have 35 - 18 = 17 elements. Similarly, the remaining portion of the circle representing set B has 52 - 18 = 34 elements. This means that 17 + 18 + 34 = 69 students were registered in College Algebra or Computer Science I. (b) Since 100 students were surveyed, it follows that 100 - 69 = 31 were registered in neither course. Now Work

The solution to Example 2 contains the basis for a general counting formula. If we count the elements in each of two sets A and B, we necessarily count twice any elements that are in both A and B—that is, those elements in A ∩ B. To count correctly the elements that are in A or B—that is, to find n 1A ∪ B2—subtract those in A ∩ B from n 1A2 + n 1B2. THEOREM  Counting Formula

If A and B are finite sets,

n 1A ∪ B2 = n 1A2 + n 1B2 - n 1A ∩ B2 (1)

Refer to Example 2. Using formula (1), we have

n 1A ∪ B2 = n 1A2 + n 1B2 - n 1A ∩ B2 = 35 + 52 - 18 = 69

There are 69 students registered in College Algebra or Computer Science I. A special case of the counting formula (1) occurs if A and B have no elements in common. In this case, A ∩ B = ∅, so n 1A ∩ B2 = 0. THEOREM  Addition Principle of Counting

If two sets A and B have no elements in common, that is,

if A ∩ B = ∅, then n1A ∪ B2 = n 1A2 + n 1B2 (2)

Formula (2) can be generalized. THEOREM  General Addition Principle of Counting If, for n sets A1, A2, c, An, no two have elements in common, then n 1A1 ∪ A2 ∪ g ∪ An 2 = n 1A1 2 + n 1A2 2 + g + n 1An 2 (3)

Solve Counting Problems Using Permutations Involving n Distinct Objects DEFINITION  Permutation A permutation is an ordered arrangement of r objects chosen from n objects. Three types of permutations are discussed: • The n objects are distinct (different), and repetition is allowed in the selection of r of them. [Distinct, with repetition] • The n objects are distinct (different), and repetition is not allowed in the selection of r of them, where r … n. [Distinct, without repetition] • The n objects are not distinct, and all of them are used in the arrangement. [Not distinct] We take up the first two types here and deal with the third type at the end of this section. The first type of permutation (n distinct objects, repetition allowed) is handled using the Multiplication Principle.

Counting Airport Codes [Permutation: Distinct, with Repetition] The International Airline Transportation Association (IATA) assigns three-letter codes to represent airport locations. For example, the airport code for Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, is FLL. Notice that repetition is allowed in forming this code. How many airport codes are possible?

Solution

An airport code is formed by choosing 3 letters from 26 letters and arranging them in order. In the ordered arrangement, a letter may be repeated. This is an example of a permutation with repetition in which 3 objects are chosen from 26 distinct objects. The task of counting the number of such arrangements consists of making three selections. Each selection requires choosing a letter of the alphabet (26 choices). By the Multiplication Principle, there are 26 # 26 # 26 = 26 3 = 17,576 possible airport codes. The solution given to Example 1 can be generalized. THEOREM  Permutations: Distinct Objects with Repetition The number of ordered arrangements of r objects chosen from n objects, in which the n objects are distinct and repetition is allowed, is nr.

CHAPTER 13  Counting and Probability

Solution

Some of the possibilities are ABC, ABD, ABZ, ACB, CBA, and so on. The task consists of making three selections. The first selection requires choosing from 26 letters. Since no letter can be used more than once, the second selection requires choosing from 25 letters. The third selection requires choosing from 24 letters. (Do you see why?) By the Multiplication Principle, there are 26 # 25 # 24 = 15,600 different three-letter codes with no letter repeated. For the second type of permutation, we introduce the following notation.

The notation P1 n, r 2 represents the number of ordered arrangements of r objects chosen from n distinct objects, where r … n and repetition is not allowed. For example, the question posed in Example 2 asks for the number of ways in which the 26 letters of the alphabet can be arranged, in order, using three nonrepeated letters. The answer is P126, 32 = 26 # 25 # 24 = 15,600

Lining People Up In how many ways can 5 people be lined up?

Solution

To arrive at a formula for P 1n, r2 , note that the task of obtaining an ordered arrangement of n objects in which only r … n of them are used, without repeating any of them, requires making r selections. For the first selection, there are n choices; for the second selection, there are n - 1 choices; for the third selection, there are n - 2 choices;  .  .  .  ; for the rth selection, there are n - 1r - 12 choices.

Solve Counting Problems Using Combinations In a permutation, order is important. For example, the arrangements ABC, CAB, BAC, . . . are considered different arrangements of the letters A, B, and C. In many situations, though, order is unimportant. For example, in the card game of poker, the order in which the cards are received does not matter; it is the combination of the cards that matters.

CHAPTER 13  Counting and Probability

DEFINITION  Combination A combination is an arrangement, without regard to order, of r objects selected from n distinct objects without repetition, where r … n. The notation C 1n, r2 represents the number of combinations of n distinct objects taken r at a time.

E XAM PLE 6 Solution

Listing Combinations List all the combinations of the 4 objects a, b, c, d taken 2 at a time. What is C 14, 22 ? One combination of a, b, c, d taken 2 at a time is ab Exclude ba from the list because order is not important in a combination (this means that we do not distinguish ab from ba). The list of all combinations of a, b, c, d taken 2 at a time is ab,  ac,  ad,  bc,  bd,  cd so C 14, 22 = 6

A formula for C 1n, r2 can be found by noting that the only difference between a permutation of r objects chosen from n distinct objects without repetition and a combination is that order is disregarded in combinations. To determine C 1n, r2 , eliminate from the formula for P 1n, r2 the number of permutations that are simply rearrangements of a given set of r objects. This can be determined from the formula for P 1n, r2 by calculating P1r, r2 = r!. So, dividing P 1n, r2 by r! gives the desired formula for C 1n, r2 : n! P1n, r2 1n - r2! n! C 1n, r2 = = = r! r! 1n r2! r! c Use formula (1).

We have proved the following result: THEOREM  Number of Combinations of n Distinct Objects Taken r at a Time The number of ways of selecting r objects from n distinct objects, r … n, in which •  repetition of objects is not allowed •  order is not important is given by the formula

C 1n, r2 =

n! (2) 1n - r2! r!

n Based on formula (2), we discover that the symbol C 1n, r2 and the symbol a b r for the binomial coefficients are, in fact, the same. The Pascal triangle (see Sections 12.5) can be used to find the value of C 1n, r2 . However, because it is more practical and convenient, we will use formula (2) instead.

Forming Different Words How many different words (meaningful or not) can be formed using all the letters in the word REARRANGE?

Solution

Each word formed will have 9 letters: 3 R’s, 2 A’s, 2 E’s, 1 N, and 1 G. To construct each word, we need to fill in 9 positions with the 9 letters: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 The process of forming a word consists of five tasks. Task 1: Task 2: Task 3: Task 4: Task 5:

Choose the positions for the 3 R’s. Choose the positions for the 2 A’s. Choose the positions for the 2 E’s. Choose the position for the 1 N. Choose the position for the 1 G.

Task 1 can be done in C 19, 32 ways. There then remain 6 positions to be filled, so Task 2 can be done in C 16, 22 ways. There remain 4 positions to be filled, so Task 3 can be done in C 14, 22 ways. There remain 2 positions to be filled, so Task 4 can be done in C 12, 12 ways. The last position can be filled in C 11, 12 way. Using the ­Multiplication Principle, the number of possible words that can be formed is C 19, 32 # C 16, 22 # C 14, 22 # C 12, 12 # C 11, 12 =

Probability is an area of mathematics that deals with experiments that yield random results, yet admit a certain regularity. Such experiments do not always produce the same result or outcome, so the result of any one observation is not predictable. However, the results of the experiment over a long period do produce regular patterns that enable us to make predictions with remarkable accuracy.

E XAM PLE 1

Tossing a Fair Coin If a fair coin is tossed, the outcome is either a head or a tail. On any particular throw, we cannot predict what will happen, but if we toss the coin many times, we observe that the number of times that a head comes up is approximately equal to the number of times that a tail comes up. It seems reasonable, therefore, to assign a probability 1 1 of that a head comes up and a probability of that a tail comes up. 2 2

Construct Probability Models The discussion in Example 1 constitutes the construction of a probability model for the experiment of tossing a fair coin once. A probability model has two components: a sample space and an assignment of probabilities. A sample space S is a set whose

876 

CHAPTER 13  Counting and Probability

elements represent all the possibilities that can occur as a result of the experiment. Each element of S is called an outcome. To each outcome a number is assigned, called the probability of that outcome, which has two properties: • The probability assigned to each outcome is nonnegative. • The sum of all the probabilities equals 1. DEFINITION  Probability Model A probability model with the sample space S = 5 e1, e2, c, en 6

Constructing a Probability Model An experiment consists of rolling a fair die once. A die is a cube with each face having 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 dots on it. See Figure 5. Construct a probability model for this experiment.

Solution

A sample space S consists of all the possibilities that can occur. Because rolling the die will result in one of six faces showing, the sample space S consists of S = 5 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 66

Because the die is fair, one face is no more likely to occur than another. As a result, our assignment of probabilities is

In working with probability models, the term event is used to describe a set of possible outcomes of the experiment. An event E is some subset of the sample space S. The probability of an event E, E ≠ ∅, denoted by P1E2 , is defined as the sum of the probabilities of the outcomes in E. We can also think of the probability of an event E as the likelihood that the event E occurs. If E = ∅, then P1E2 = 0; if E = S, then P1E2 = P1S2 = 1.

so n 1S2 = 8. We wish to know the probability of the event E: “having two boys and one girl.” From Figure 6, we conclude that E = 5 BBG, BGB, GBB 6 , so n 1E2 = 3. Since the outcomes are equally likely, the probability of E is

Let E represent the event “roll an odd number,” and let F represent the event “roll a 1 or 2.” (a) Write the event E and F. What is n 1E ∩ F2? (b) Write the event E or F. What is n 1E ∪ F2? (c) Compute P 1E2 . Compute P 1F2 . (d) Compute P1E ∩ F2. (e) Compute P1E ∪ F2.

Solution

The sample space S of the experiment is 5 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 66 , so n 1S2 = 6. Since the die is fair, the outcomes are equally likely. The event E: “roll an odd number” is 5 1, 3, 56 , and the event F: “roll a 1 or 2” is 5 1, 26 , so n 1E2 = 3 and n 1F2 = 2.

(a) In probability, the word and means the intersection of two events. The event E and F is E ∩ F = 5 1, 3, 56 ∩ 5 1, 26 = 5 16

(c) Use formula (4). Then P1E2 = (d) P1E ∩ F2 = (e) P1E ∪ F2 =

n 1E2 3 1 = = n 1S2 6 2

P1F2 =

n 1E ∩ F2 1 = n 1S2 6

This result is a consequence of the Counting Formula discussed earlier, in Section 13.1. For example, formula (5) can be used to find P1E ∪ F2 in Example 6(e). Then P1E ∪ F2 = P1E2 + P1F2 - P1E ∩ F2 =

Solution

Use formula (5). Probability of E or F = P1E ∪ F2 = P1E2 + P1F2 - P1E ∩ F2 = 0.2 + 0.3 - 0.1 = 0.4 A Venn diagram can sometimes be used to obtain probabilities. To construct a Venn diagram representing the information in Example 7, draw two sets E and F. Begin with the fact that P1E ∩ F2 = 0.1. See Figure 7(a). Then, since P1E2 = 0.2 and P1F2 = 0.3, fill in E with 0.2 - 0.1 = 0.1 and fill in F with 0.3 - 0.1 = 0.2. See Figure 7(b). Since P1S2 = 1, complete the diagram by inserting 1 - 10.1 + 0.1 + 0.22 = 0.6 outside the circles. See Figure 7(c). Now it is easy to see, for example, that the probability of F but not E is 0.2. Also, the probability of neither E nor F is 0.6.

4 Use the Complement Rule to Find Probabilities Recall that if A is a set, the complement of A, denoted A, is the set of all elements in the universal set U that are not in A. We similarly define the complement of an event. DEFINITION  Complement of an Event Let S denote the sample space of an experiment, and let E denote an event. The complement of E, denoted E, is the set of all outcomes in the sample space S that are not outcomes in the event E. The complement of an event E—that is, E—in a sample space S has the following two properties: E∩E = ∅

E∪ E = S

Since E and E are mutually exclusive, it follows from (6) that P1E ∪ E2 = P1S2 = 1

P1E2 + P1 E2 = 1

P1 E2 = 1 - P1E2

We have the following result: THEOREM  Computing Probabilities of Complementary Events If E represents any event and E represents the complement of E, then P1 E2 = 1 - P1E2(7)

Birthday Problem What is the probability that in a group of 10 people, at least 2 people have the same birthday? Assume that there are 365 days in a year and that a person is as likely to be born on one day as another, so all the outcomes are equally likely.

Solution

First determine the number of outcomes in the sample space S. There are 365 possibilities for each person’s birthday. Since there are 10 people in the group, there are 36510 possibilities for the birthdays. [For one person in the group, there are 365 days on which his or her birthday can fall; for two people, there are 13652 13652 = 3652 pairs of days; and, in general, using the Multiplication Principle, for n people there are 365n possibilities.] So n 1S2 = 36510

We wish to find the probability of the event E: “at least two people have the same birthday.” It is difficult to count the elements in this set; it is much easier to count the elements of the complementary event E: “no two people have the same birthday.” Find n 1 E2 as follows: Choose one person at random. There are 365 p ­ ossibilities for his or her birthday. Choose a second person. There are 364 possibilities for this birthday, if no two people are to have the same birthday. Choose a third person. There are 363 possibilities left for this birthday. Finally, arrive at the tenth person. There are 356 possibilities left for this birthday. By the Multiplication Principle, the total number of possibilities is n 1 E2 = 365 # 364 # 363 # g # 356

The probability of the event E is P1 E2 =

n 1 E2 365 # 364 # 363 # g # 356 = ≈ 0.883 n 1S2 36510

The probability of two or more people in a group of 10 people having the same birthday is then P1E2 = 1 - P1 E2 ≈ 1 - 0.883 = 0.117 The birthday problem can be solved for any group size. The following table gives the probabilities for two or more people having the same birthday for various group 1 sizes.

Historical Feature

S

Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

et theory, counting, and probability first took form as a systematic theory in an exchange of letters (1654) between Pierre de Fermat (1601—1665) and Blaise Pascal (1623—1662). They discussed the problem of how to divide the stakes in a game that is interrupted before completion, knowing how many points each player needs to win. Fermat solved the problem by listing all possibilities and counting

the favorable ones, whereas Pascal made use of the triangle that now bears his name. As mentioned in the text, the entries in Pascal’s triangle are equivalent to C1n, r2 . This recognition of the role of C1n, r2 in counting is the foundation of all further developments. The first book on probability, the work of Christiaan Huygens (1629—1695), appeared in 1657. In it, the notion of mathematical expectation is explored. This allows the calculation of the profit or loss that a gambler might expect, knowing the probabilities involved in the game (see the Historical Problem that follows). (continued )

CHAPTER 13  Counting and Probability

Although Girolamo Cardano (1501—1576) wrote a treatise on probability, it was not published until 1663 in Cardano’s collected works, and this was too late to have had any effect on the early development of the theory. In 1713, the posthumously published Ars Conjectandi of Jakob Bernoulli (1654—1705) gave the theory the form it would have until 1900. Recently, both combinatorics (counting) and probability have undergone rapid development, thanks to the use of computers. A final comment about notation. The notations C1n, r2 and P1n, r2 are variants of a form of notation developed in England after 1830.

n The notation a b for C1n, r2 goes back to Leonhard Euler r (1707—1783) but is now losing ground because it has no clearly related symbolism of the same type for permutations. The set symbols ∪ and ∩ were introduced by Giuseppe Peano (1858—1932) in 1888 in a slightly different context. The inclusion symbol ⊂ was introduced by E. Schroeder (1841—1902) about 1890. We owe the treatment of set theory in the text to George Boole (1815—1864), who wrote A + B for A ∪ B and AB for A ∩ B (statisticians still use AB for A ∩ B).

Historical Problem 1.  The Problem Discussed by Fermat and Pascal A game between two equally skilled players, A and B, is interrupted when A needs 2 points to win and B needs 3 points. In what proportion should the stakes be divided? (a)  Fermat’s solution List all possible outcomes that can occur as a result of four more plays. Comparing the probabilities for A to win and for B to win then determines how the stakes should be divided.

(b)  Pascal’s solution Use combinations to determine the number of ways that the 2 points needed for A to win could occur in four plays. Then use combinations to determine the number of ways that the 3 points needed for B to win could occur. This is trickier than it looks, since A can win with 2 points in two plays, in three plays, or in four plays. Compute the probabilities, and compare them with the results in part (a).

A Preview of Calculus: The Limit, Derivative, and Integral of a Function Thomas Malthus on Population Growth In the late 1700s, the British economist Thomas Malthus presented a report that criticized those who thought that life was going to continue to improve for humans. Malthus put his report together quickly and titled it An Essay on the Principle of Population as it Affects the Future Improvement of Society, with Remarks on the Speculations of Mr. Godwin, M. Condorcet, and Other Writers. Malthus argued that because the human population tends to increase geometrically (1, 2, 4, 16, and so on) and that food supplies will likely only increase arithmetically (1, 2, 3, 4, and so on), populations will naturally be held in check due to food shortages. Malthus also suggested that there are other checks on population growth (and he considered these natural and a good thing). Nonetheless, he was concerned that poverty is inevitable and will continue. Malthus used historical data to suggest that population growth has been doubling every twenty-five years in the United States (still in the early stages of development back in the late 18th Century). Malthus surmised that the youth of the country along with the vast amount of areas conducive to farming would lead to a birth rate that exceeded most countries in the world. Malthus believed there are two “checks” that control the population growth. One type are called preventative checks—these are checks that decrease the birth rate. The second type are called positive checks—these are checks that increase the death rate. Positive checks include war, famine, and natural disasters. Malthus believed that fear of famine was a major reason the birth rate may decrease. After all, who would want to have a child knowing the child may suffer from hunger, or worse, starvation?

A Look Back In this text we have studied a variety of functions: polynomial functions (including linear and quadratic functions), rational functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, trigonometric functions, and the inverse trigonometric functions. For each of these, we found their domain and range, intercepts, symmetry, if any, and asymptotes, if any, and we graphed them. We also discussed whether these functions were even, odd, or neither and determined on what intervals they were increasing and decreasing. We also discussed the idea of their average rate of change.

A Look Ahead In calculus, other properties are discussed, such as finding limits of functions, determining where functions are continuous, finding the derivative of functions, and finding the integral of functions. In this chapter, we give an introduction to these properties. After you have completed this chapter, you will be well prepared for a first course in calculus.

Now Work the ‘Are You Prepared?’ problems on page 894. OBJECTIVES 1  Investigate a Limit Using a Table (p. 891)



2  Investigate a Limit Using a Graph (p. 893)

The Idea of a Limit The idea of a limit of a function is what connects algebra and geometry to the mathematics of calculus. In working with the limit of a function, we encounter notation of the form lim f1x2 = N

xSc

Need to Review? Interval notation is discussed in Section A.9, pp. A72–A74.

This is read as “the limit of f1x2 as x approaches c equals the number N.” Here f is a function defined on some open interval containing the number c. However, f need not be defined at c. The meaning of lim f1x2 = N may be described as follows: xSc

For all x approximately equal to the number c, with x ∙ c, the corresponding value of f is approximately equal to the number N. Another description of lim f1x2 = N is xSc

As x gets closer to c, but remains unequal to c, the corresponding value of f gets closer to N.

When choosing the values of x in a table, the number to start with and the subsequent entries are arbitrary. However, the entries should be chosen so that the table makes it clear what number the value of f is approaching. COMMENT  A graphing utility with a TABLE feature can be used to generate the entries.

The conclusion that lim 1x + 22 = 4 could be obtained without Table 4; as x gets xS2

closer to 2, it follows that x + 2 gets closer to 2 + 2 = 4. Also, for part (a), you are right if you make the observation that for x ∙ 2, f1x2 =

1x - 22 1x + 22 x2 - 4 = = x + 2 x - 2 x - 2

x ∙ 2

Therefore, lim

This is the conclusion regardless of the value of f at c. In Figure 1(a), f1c2 = N, and in Figure 1(b), f1c2 ∙ N. Figure 1(c) suggests that lim f1x2 = N, even if f is not xSc defined at c. y

When the limit of the denominator is zero, the Limit of a Quotient cannot be used. In such cases, other strategies are needed. Let’s look at two examples.

xS3

Solution

x2 - x - 6 1x - 13    (b) lim xS3 x - 3 x2 - 9

(a) The limit of the denominator equals zero, so the Limit of a Quotient cannot be used. Instead, notice that the expression can be factored as 1x - 32 1x + 22 x2 - x - 6 = 1x - 32 1x + 32 x2 - 9

When computing a limit as x approaches 3, we are interested in the values of the function when x is close to 3 but unequal to 3. Since x ∙ 3, we can cancel the 1x - 32 >s. Then, the Limit of a Quotient can be used. lim 1x + 22 1x - 32 1x + 22 x2 - x - 6 5 xS3 lim = = = lim 2 xS3 x - 9 x S 3 1x - 32 1x + 32 lim 1x + 32 6 xS3

(b) Again, the limit of the denominator is zero. The strategy here is to rationalize the numerator. 1x - 13 1x - 13 # 1x + 13 x - 3 1 = = = x - 3 x - 3 1x + 13 c 1x - 32 1 1x + 132 1x + 13 x ∙ 3

Now since the limit of the denominator is not equal to zero, we can use the Limit of a Quotient.

OBJECTIVES 1  Find the One-sided Limits of a Function (p. 903)

2  Determine Whether a Function Is Continuous at a Number (p. 905)

Find the One-sided Limits of a Function Earlier we described lim f1x2 = N by saying that as x gets closer to the number c xSc

but remains unequal to c, the corresponding values of f get closer to the number N. Whether we use a numerical argument or the graph of the function f, the variable x can get closer to c in only two ways: by approaching c from the left, using numbers less than c, or by approaching c from the right, using numbers greater than c. If we approach c from only one side, we have a one-sided limit. The notation

lim f1x2 = L

x S c-

is called the left-hand limit. It is read “the limit of f1x2 as x approaches c from the left equals L” and may be described by the following statement:

In Words

x S c - means x is approaching c from the left, so x 6 c.

As x gets closer to c, but remains less than c, the corresponding value of f gets closer to L. The notation x S c - is used to remind us that x is less than c. The notation

lim f1x2 = R

x S c+

is called the right-hand limit. It is read “the limit of f1x2 as x approaches c from the right equals R” and may be described by the following statement:

In Words

x S c + means x is approaching c from the right, so x 7 c.

As x gets closer to c, but remains greater than c, the corresponding value of f gets closer to R. The notation x S c + is used to remind us that x is greater than c.

Figure 9 

Much earlier in this text, we stated that a function f is continuous if its graph could be drawn without lifting pencil from paper. Figure 9 reveals that the only graph that has this characteristic is the graph in Figure 9(a), for which the one-sided limits at c each exist and are equal to the value of f at c. This leads us to the following definition.

DEFINITION  A function f is continuous at c if and only if

• f is defined at c; that is, c is in the domain of f so that f 1c2 equals a number. f1x2 = f1c2 • xlim Sc f1x2 = f1c2 • xlim Sc + In other words, a function f is continuous at c if and only if lim f1x2 = f1c2

xSc

If f is not continuous at c, we say that f is discontinuous at c. Each function whose graph appears in Figures 9(b) to 9(f) is discontinuous at c. Now Work

27

Look again at the Limit of a Polynomial theorem on page 898. Based on the theorem, we conclude that a polynomial function is continuous at every number. Look at the Limit of a Quotient theorem on page 900 and suppose f and g are polynomial functions. We conclude that a rational function is continuous at every number, except any numbers at which it is not defined. At numbers where a rational function is not defined, either a hole appears in the graph or else an asymptote appears.

The exponential, logarithmic, sine, and cosine functions are continuous at every number in their domain. The tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant functions are continuous except at numbers for which they are not defined, where asymptotes occur. The square root function and absolute value function are continuous at every number in their domain. The function f1x2 = int1x2 is continuous except for x = an integer, where a jump occurs in the graph. Piecewise-defined functions require special attention.

The “pieces” of f —that is, y = x2, y = x + 1, and y = 5 - x, are each continuous for every number since they are polynomials. In other words, when we graph the pieces, we will not lift our pencil. When we graph the function f, however, we have to be careful, because the pieces change at x = 0 and at x = 2. So the numbers we need to investigate for f are x = 0 and x = 2. lim f1x2 = lim- x2 = 0      f 1x 2 = x 2 if x " 0

CHAPTER 14   A Preview of Calculus: The Limit, Derivative, and Integral of a Function

The Tangent Problem One question that motivated the development of calculus was a geometry problem, the tangent problem. This problem asks, “What is the slope of the tangent line to the graph of a function y = f 1x2 at a point P on its graph?” See Figure 12. We first need to define what is meant by a tangent line. In plane geometry, the tangent line to a circle at a point is defined as the line that intersects the circle at exactly that one point. Look at Figure 13. Notice that the tangent line just touches the graph of the circle. y y 5 f(x) Tangent line

This definition, however, does not work in general. Look at Figure 14. The lines L1 and L2 intersect the graph at only one point P, but neither just touches the graph at P. Further, the tangent line LT shown in Figure 15 touches the graph of f at P but also intersects the graph elsewhere. So how should we define the tangent line to the graph of f at a point P? y

Find an Equation of the Tangent Line to the Graph of a Function The tangent line LT to the graph of a function y = f1x2 at a point P necessarily contains the point P. To find an equation for LT using the point-slope form of the equation of a line, we need to find the slope mtan of the tangent line. Suppose that the coordinates of the point P are 1c, f1c2 2 . Locate another point Q = 1x, f1x2 2 on the graph of f. The line containing P and Q is a secant line. The slope msec of the secant line is

f1x2 - f1c2 x - c

Now look at Figure 16. As we move along the graph of f from Q toward P, we obtain a succession of secant lines. The closer we get to P, the closer the secant line is to the tangent line LT . The limiting position of these secant lines is the tangent line LT . Therefore, the limiting value of the slopes of these secant lines equals the slope of the tangent line. Also, as we move from Q toward P, the values of x get closer to c. Therefore, mtan = lim msec = lim xSc

Finding the Instantaneous Velocity of an Object In physics it is shown that the height s of a ball thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 80 feet per second (ft/sec) from a rooftop 96 feet high is s = s 1t2 = - 16t 2 + 80t + 96

where t is the elapsed time that the ball is in the air. The ball misses the rooftop on its way down and eventually strikes the ground. See Figure 19. Roof top

(f) When is the instantaneous velocity of the ball equal to zero? (g) What is the instantaneous velocity of the ball as it passes the rooftop on the way down? (h) What is the instantaneous velocity of the ball when it strikes the ground? (a) The ball strikes the ground when s = s 1t2 = 0.

(e) At t = 2 sec, the instantaneous velocity of the ball is s′ 122 = - 1612 # 2 - 52 = - 161 - 12 = 16 ft/sec

(f) The instantaneous velocity of the ball is zero when s′1t2 = 0 - 1612t - 52 = 0

5 = 2.5 sec 2 (g) The ball passes the rooftop on the way down when t = 5. The instantaneous velocity at t = 5 is t =

s′152 = - 16110 - 52 = - 80 ft/sec

Exploration Determine the vertex of the quadratic function given in Example 6. What do you conclude about the velocity when s1t 2 is a maximum?

At t = 5 sec, the ball is traveling - 80 ft/sec. When the instantaneous rate of change is negative, it means that the direction of the object is downward. The ball is traveling 80 ft/sec in the downward direction when t = 5 sec. (h) The ball strikes the ground when t = 6. The instantaneous velocity when t = 6 is s′162 = - 16112 - 52 = - 112 ft/sec The velocity of the ball at t = 6 sec is - 112 ft/sec. Again, the negative value implies that the ball is traveling downward.

The Area Problem The development of the integral, like that of the derivative, was originally motivated to a large extent by a problem in geometry: the area problem. Area Problem Suppose a function f is nonnegative and continuous on a closed interval 3 a, b 4 . Find the area enclosed by the graph of f, the x-axis, and the vertical lines x = a and x = b. Figure 20 illustrates the area problem. We refer to the area A shown as the area under the graph of f from a to b. y

For most other functions, no formulas from geometry are available. We begin by discussing a way to approximate the area under the graph of a function f from a to b.

Approximate the Area under the Graph of a Function We use rectangles to approximate the area under the graph of a function f. We do this by partitioning or dividing the interval 3 a, b4 into subintervals of equal width. On each subinterval, we form a rectangle whose base is the width of the subinterval and whose length is f1u2 for some number u in the subinterval. Look at Figure 22. y

In Figure 22(a), the interval 3 a, b4 is partitioned into two subintervals, each of b - a width , and the number u is chosen as the left endpoint of each subinterval. 2 In Figure 22(b), the interval 3 a, b4 is partitioned into four subintervals, each of b - a width , and the number u is chosen as the right endpoint of each subinterval. 4 The area A under f from a to b is approximated by adding the areas of the rectangles formed by the partition. Using Figure 22(a), Area A ≈ area of first rectangle + area of second rectangle = f 1u 1 2

Using Figure 22(b), Area A ≈ area of first rectangle + area of second rectangle + area of third rectangle + area of fourth rectangle b - a b - a b - a b - a = f1u 1 2 + f1u 2 2 + f1u 3 2 + f1u 4 2 4 4 4 4

In approximating the area under the graph of a function f from a to b, the choice of the number u in each subinterval is arbitrary. For convenience, we shall always pick u as either the left endpoint of each subinterval or the right endpoint. The choice of how many subintervals to use is also arbitrary. In general, the more subintervals used, the better the approximation will be. Let’s look at a specific example.

You are asked to confirm the entries in Table 7 in Problem 31. There is another useful observation about Example 1. Look again at Figures 23(a)–(d) and at Table 7. Since the graph of f1x2 = 2x is increasing on 3 0, 14 , the choice of u as the left endpoint gives a lower-bound estimate to the actual area, while choosing u as the right endpoint gives an upper-bound estimate.

I.  World Population Thomas Malthus believed that “population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical progression of such nature as to double itself every twenty-five years.” However, the growth of population is limited because the resources available to us are limited in supply. If Malthus’ conjecture were true, geometric growth of the world’s population would imply that Pt = r + 1, where r is the growth rate Pt - 1 1. Using world population data and a graphing utility, find the logistic growth function of best fit, treating the year as the independent variable. Let t = 0 represent 1950, t = 1 represent 1951, and so on, until you have entered all the years and the corresponding populations up to the current year.

Work with Sets A set is a well-defined collection of distinct objects. The objects of a set are called its elements. By well-defined, we mean that there is a rule that enables us to determine whether a given object is an element of the set. If a set has no elements, it is called the empty set, or null set, and is denoted by the symbol ∅. For example, the set of digits consists of the collection of numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. If we use the symbol D to denote the set of digits, then we can write D = 5 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 96

In this notation, the braces 5 6 are used to enclose the objects, or elements, in the set. This method of denoting a set is called the roster method. A second way to denote a set is to use set-builder notation, where the set D of digits is written as D = 5 x      ∙ x is a digit 6 c     c          c $%++& $%& $%&

Read as “D is the set of all x such that x is a digit.”

E XAM PLE 1

Using Set-builder Notation and the Roster Method (a) E = 5 x 0 x is an even digit6 = 5 0, 2, 4, 6, 86 (b) O = 5 x 0 x is an odd digit6 = 5 1, 3, 5, 7, 96

Because the elements of a set are distinct, we never repeat elements. For example, we would never write 5 1, 2, 3, 26 ; the correct listing is 5 1, 2, 36 . Because a set is a collection, the order in which the elements are listed is immaterial. 5 1, 2, 36 , 5 1, 3, 26 , 5 2, 1, 36 , and so on, all represent the same set.

APPENDIX A Review

If every element of a set A is also an element of a set B, then A is a subset of B, which is denoted A ⊆ B. If two sets A and B have the same elements, then A equals B, which is denoted A = B. For example, 5 1, 2, 36 ⊆ 5 1, 2, 3, 4, 56 and 5 1, 2, 36 = 5 2, 3, 16 . DEFINITION  Intersection and Union of Two Sets If A and B are sets, the intersection of A with B, denoted A ∩ B, is the set consisting of elements that belong to both A and B. The union of A with B, denoted A ∪ B, is the set consisting of elements that belong to either A or B, or both.

Usually, in working with sets, we designate a universal set U, the set consisting of all the elements that we wish to consider. Once a universal set has been designated, we can consider elements of the universal set not found in a given set.

DEFINITION  Complement of a Set If A is a set, the complement of A, denoted A, is the set consisting of all the elements in the universal set that are not in A.*

E XAM PLE 3

Finding the Complement of a Set If the universal set is U = 5 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 96 and if A = 5 1, 3, 5, 7, 96 , then A = 5 2, 4, 6, 86 . It follows from the definition of complement that A ∪ A = U and A ∩ A = ∅. Do you see why? Now Work

It is often helpful to draw pictures of sets. Such pictures, called Venn diagrams, represent sets as circles enclosed in a rectangle, which represents the universal set. Such diagrams often help us to visualize various relationships among sets. See Figure 1. If we know that A ⊆ B, we might use the Venn diagram in Figure 2(a). If we know that A and B have no elements in common—that is, if A ∩ B = ∅—we might use the Venn diagram in Figure 2(b). The sets A and B in Figure 2(b) are said to be disjoint. *

Some texts use the notation A′ or Ac for the complement of A.

The set of counting numbers, or natural numbers, contains the numbers in the set 5 1, 2, 3, 4, c 6 . (The three dots, called an ellipsis, indicate that the pattern continues indefinitely.) The set of integers contains the numbers in the set 5 c , - 3, - 2, - 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, c 6 . A rational number is a number that can be a expressed as a quotient of two integers, where the integer b cannot be 0. Examples b 3 5 0 2 a of rational numbers are , , , and - . Since = a for any integer a, every integer 4 2 4 3 1 is also a rational number. Real numbers that are not rational are called irrational. Examples of irrational numbers are 22 and p (the Greek letter pi), which equals the constant ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle. See Figure 4. Real numbers can be represented as decimals. Rational real numbers have decimal representations that either terminate or are nonterminating with repeating 3 2 = 0.75, which terminates; and = 0.666c, blocks of digits. For example, 4 3 in which the digit 6 repeats indefinitely. Irrational real numbers have decimal representations that neither repeat nor terminate. For example, 22 = 1.414213c and p = 3.14159c. In practice, the decimal representation of an irrational number is given as an approximation. We use the symbol ≈ (read as “approximately equal to”) to write 22 ≈ 1.4142 and p ≈ 3.1416. Two frequently used properties of real numbers are given next. Suppose that a, b, and c are real numbers. Distributive Property  a # 1b + c2 = ab + ac 1a + b2 # c = a # c + b # c

APPENDIX A Review

In Words

Zero-Product Property 

If a product equals 0, then one or both of the factors is 0.

If ab = 0, then a = 0, b = 0, or both equal 0. The Distributive Property can be used to remove parentheses: 21x + 32 = 2x + 2 # 3 = 2x + 6

The Zero-Product Property will be used to solve equations (Section A.6). For example, if 2x = 0, then 2 = 0 or x = 0. Since 2 ≠ 0, it follows that x = 0.

Real numbers can be represented by points on a line called the real number line. There is a one-to-one correspondence between real numbers and points on a line. That is, every real number corresponds to a point on the line, and each point on the line has a unique real number associated with it. Pick a point on a line somewhere in the center, and label it O. This point, called the origin, corresponds to the real number 0. See Figure 5. The point 1 unit to the right of O corresponds to the number 1. The distance between 0 and 1 determines the scale of the number line. For example, the point associated with the number 2 is twice as far from O as 1. Notice that an arrowhead on the right end of the line indicates the direction in which the numbers increase. Points to the left of the origin correspond to the real numbers - 1, - 2, and so on. Figure 5 also shows the points 1 1 associated with the rational numbers - and and with the irrational numbers 12 2 2 and p. DEFINITION  Coordinate; Real Number Line The real number associated with a point P is called the coordinate of P, and the line whose points have been assigned coordinates is called the real number line.

The real number line consists of three classes of real numbers, as shown in Figure 6.

• The negative real numbers are the coordinates of points to the left of the

origin O. • The real number zero is the coordinate of the origin O. • The positive real numbers are the coordinates of points to the right of the origin O.

An important property of the real number line follows from the fact that, given two numbers a and b, either a is to the left of b, or a is at the same location as b, or a is to the right of b. See Figure 7. If a is to the left of b, then “a is less than b,” which is written a 6 b. If a is to the right of b, then “a is greater than b,” which is written a 7 b. If a is at the same location as b, then a = b. If a is either less than or equal to b, then a … b. Similarly, a Ú b means that a is either greater than or equal to b. Collectively, the symbols 6 , 7 , … , and Ú are called inequality symbols. Note that a 6 b and b 7 a mean the same thing. It does not matter whether we write 2 6 3 or 3 7 2. Furthermore, if a 6 b or if b 7 a, then the difference b - a is positive. Do you see why?

SECTION A.1  Algebra Essentials

An inequality is a statement in which two expressions are related by an inequality symbol. The expressions are referred to as the sides of the inequality. Inequalities of the form a 6 b or b 7 a are called strict inequalities, whereas inequalities of the form a … b or b Ú a are called nonstrict inequalities. Based on the discussion so far, we conclude that



• a 7 0 is equivalent to a is positive • a 6 0 is equivalent to a is negative

We sometimes read a 7 0 by saying that “a is positive.” If a Ú 0, then either a 7 0 or a = 0, and we may read this as “a is nonnegative.” Now Work

The absolute value of a number a is the distance from 0 to a on the number line. For example, - 4 is 4 units from 0, and 3 is 3 units from 0. See Figure 10. That is, the absolute value of - 4 is 4, and the absolute value of 3 is 3. A more formal definition of absolute value is given next. DEFINITION  Absolute Value The absolute value of a real number a, denoted by the symbol 0 a 0 , is defined by the rules

0 a 0 = a if a Ú 0

and

0 a 0 = - a if a 6 0

For example, because - 4 6 0, the second rule must be used to get

Look again at Figure 10. The distance from - 4 to 3 is 7 units. This distance is the difference 3 - 1 - 42, obtained by subtracting the smaller coordinate from the larger. However, since 0 3 - 1 - 42 0 = 0 7 0 = 7 and 0 - 4 - 3 0 = 0 - 7 0 = 7, we can use absolute value to calculate the distance between two points without being concerned about which is smaller.

4 Evaluate Algebraic Expressions Remember, in algebra we use letters such as x, y, a, b, and c to represent numbers. If a letter used is to represent any number from a given set of numbers, it is called a variable. A constant is either a fixed number, such as 5 or 13, or a letter that represents a fixed (possibly unspecified) number. Constants and variables are combined using the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to form algebraic expressions. Examples of algebraic expressions include x + 3

To evaluate an algebraic expression, substitute a numerical value for each variable.

5 Determine the Domain of a Variable In working with expressions or formulas involving variables, the variables may be allowed to take on values from only a certain set of numbers. For example, in the formula for the area A of a circle of radius r, A = pr 2, the variable r is necessarily 1 restricted to the positive real numbers. In the expression , the variable x cannot x take on the value 0, since division by 0 is not defined.

DEFINITION  Domain of a Variable The set of values that a variable may assume is called the domain of the variable.

In the definition it is understood that a1 = a. Furthermore, a2 = a # a, a3 = a # a # a, and so on. In the expression an, a is called the base and n is called the exponent, or power. We read an as “a raised to the power n” or as “a to the nth power.” We usually read a2 as “a squared” and a3 as “a cubed.” In working with exponents, the operation of raising to a power is performed before any other operation. As examples, 4 # 32 = 4 # 9 = 36

22 + 32 = 4 + 9 = 13

5 # 32 + 2 # 4 = 5 # 9 + 2 # 4 = 45 + 8 = 53

7 Evaluate Square Roots In Words

136 means “what is the nonnegative number whose square is 36?”

A real number is squared when it is raised to the power 2. The inverse of squaring is finding a square root. For example, since 62 = 36 and 1 - 62 2 = 36, the numbers 6 and - 6 are square roots of 36. The symbol 1 , called a radical sign, is used to denote the principal, or nonnegative, square root. For example, 136 = 6. DEFINITION  Principal Square Root If a is a nonnegative real number, the nonnegative number b for which b2 = a is the principal square root of a, and is denoted by b = 1a. The following comments are noteworthy:

E XAM PLE 12

• Negative numbers do not have square roots (in the real number system), because the square of any real number is nonnegative. For example, 1- 4 is not a real number, because there is no real number whose square is - 4. • The principal square root of 0 is 0, since 02 = 0. That is, 10 = 0. • The principal square root of a positive number is positive. • If c Ú 0, then 1 1c 2 2 = c. For example, 1 12 2 2 = 2 and 1 13 2 2 = 3.

Calculators and Graphing Utilities Calculators are incapable of displaying decimals that contain a large number of ­digits. For example, some calculators are capable of displaying only eight digits. When a number requires more than eight digits, the calculator either truncates or rounds. To see how your calculator handles decimals, divide 2 by 3. How many digits do you see? Is the last digit a 6 or a 7? If it is a 6, your calculator truncates; if it is a 7, your calculator rounds. There are different kinds of calculators. An arithmetic calculator can only add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers; therefore, this type is not adequate for this course. Scientific calculators have all the capabilities of arithmetic calculators and also contain function keys labeled ln, log, sin, cos, tan, xy, inv, and so on. Graphing calculators have all the capabilities of scientific calculators and contain a screen on which graphs can be displayed. We use the term graphing utility to refer generically to all graphing calculators and computer software packages, and use the symbol whenever a graphing utility needs to be used.

The Pythagorean Theorem is a statement about right triangles. A right triangle is one that contains a right angle—that is, an angle of 90°. The side of the triangle opposite the 90° angle is called the hypotenuse; the remaining two sides are called legs. In Figure 13 we have used c to represent the length of the hypotenuse and a and b to represent the lengths of the legs. Notice the use of the symbol to show the 90° angle. We now state the Pythagorean Theorem.

PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM In a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the legs. That is, in the right triangle shown in Figure 13, c 2 = a2 + b2 (1)

3 Understand Congruent Triangles and Similar Triangles In Words

Two triangles are congruent if they have the same size and shape.

Throughout the text we will make reference to triangles. We begin with a discussion of congruent triangles. According to dictionary.com, the word congruent means “coinciding exactly when superimposed.” For example, two angles are congruent if they have the same measure, and two line segments are congruent if they have the same length. DEFINITION  Congruent Triangles Two triangles are congruent if each pair of corresponding angles have the same measure and each pair of corresponding sides are the same length. In Figure 17, corresponding angles are equal and the corresponding sides are equal in length: a = d, b = e, and c = f. As a result, these triangles are congruent.

It is not necessary to verify that all three angles and all three sides are the same measure to determine whether two triangles are congruent.

Determining Congruent Triangles  • Angle–Side–Angle Case Two triangles are congruent if two of the angles are equal and the lengths of the corresponding sides between the two angles are equal. For example, in Figure 18(a), the two triangles are congruent because two angles and the included side are equal. • Side–Side–Side Case Two triangles are congruent if the lengths of the corresponding sides of the triangles are equal. For example, in Figure 18(b), the two triangles are congruent because the three corresponding sides are all equal. • Side–Angle–Side Case Two triangles are congruent if the lengths of two corresponding sides are equal and the angles between the two sides are the same. For example, in Figure 18(c), the two triangles are congruent because two sides and the included angle are equal.

DEFINITION  Similar Triangles Two triangles are similar if the corresponding angles are equal and the lengths of the corresponding sides are proportional.

In Words

Two triangles are similar if they have the same shape, but (possibly) different sizes.

For example, the triangles in Figure 19 (on the next page) are similar because the corresponding angles are equal. In addition, the lengths of the corresponding sides are proportional because each side in the triangle on the right is twice as long as each corresponding side in the triangle on the left. That is, the ratio of the corresponding sides is a constant:

f d e = = = 2. a c b

For example, in Figure 20(a), the two triangles are similar because two angles are equal. • Side–Side–Side Case Two triangles are similar if the lengths of all three sides of each triangle are proportional.

We have described algebra as a generalization of arithmetic in which letters are used to represent real numbers. From now on, we shall use the letters at the end of the alphabet, such as x, y, and z, to represent variables and use the letters at the beginning of the alphabet, such as a, b, and c, to represent constants. In the expressions 3x + 5 and ax + b, it is understood that x is a variable and that a and b are constants, even though the constants a and b are unspecified. As you will find out, the context usually makes the intended meaning clear.

Recognize Polynomials Two monomials with the same variable raised to the same power are called like terms. For example, 2x4 and - 5x4 are like terms. In contrast, the monomials 2x3 and 2x5 are not like terms. We can add or subtract like terms using the Distributive Property. For example, 2x2 + 5x2 = 12 + 52x2 = 7x2 and 8x3 - 5x3 = 18 - 52x3 = 3x3

The sum or difference of two monomials having different degrees is called a binomial. The sum or difference of three monomials with three different degrees is called a trinomial. For example, • x2 - 2 is a binomial. • x3 - 3x + 5 is a trinomial. • 2x2 + 5x2 + 2 = 7x2 + 2 is a binomial.

DEFINITION  Polynomial A polynomial in one variable is an algebraic expression of the form an xn + an - 1 xn - 1 + g + a1 x + a0(1)



where an, an - 1, c, a1, a0 are constants,* called the coefficients of the polynomial, n Ú 0 is an integer, and x is a variable. If an ≠ 0, it is called the leading coefficient, anxn is called the leading term, and n is the degree of the polynomial.

In Words

A polynomial is a sum of monomials.

The monomials that make up a polynomial are called its terms. If all of the coefficients are 0, the polynomial is called the zero polynomial, which has no degree. Polynomials are usually written in standard form, beginning with the nonzero term of highest degree and continuing with terms in descending order according to degree. If a power of x is missing, it is because its coefficient is zero.

In the division problem detailed in Example 5, the number 15 is called the divisor, the number 842 is called the dividend, the number 56 is called the quotient, and the number 2 is called the remainder. To check the answer obtained in a division problem, multiply the quotient by the divisor and add the remainder. The answer should be the dividend. Quotient # Divisor + Remainder = Dividend

For example, we can check the results obtained in Example 5 as follows: 56 # 15 + 2 = 840 + 2 = 842

NOTE  Remember, a polynomial is in standard form when its terms are written in descending powers of x. j

E XAM PLE 6

To divide two polynomials, we first write each polynomial in standard form. The process then follows a pattern similar to that of Example 5. The next example illustrates the procedure.

Dividing Two Polynomials Find the quotient and the remainder when 3x3 + 4x2 + x + 7 is divided by x2 + 1

Solution

Each polynomial is in standard form. The dividend is 3x3 + 4x2 + x + 7, and the divisor is x2 + 1. Step 1: Divide the leading term of the dividend, 3x3, by the leading term of the divisor, x2. Enter the result, 3x, over the term 3x3, as follows: 3x x + 1) 3x3 + 4x2 + x + 7 2

Step 2: Multiply 3x by x2 + 1, and enter the result below the dividend. 3x x2 + 1) 3x3 + 4x2 + x + 7 d 3x # (x 2 + 1) = 3x 3 + 3x 3x3 + 3x c

Align the 3x term under the x to make the next step easier.

Step 3: Subtract and bring down the remaining terms. 3x x + 1) 3x3 + 4x2 + x + 7 3x3 + 3x 2 4x - 2x + 7 2

d Subtract (change the signs and add). d Bring down the 4x 2 and the 7.

Step 4: Repeat Steps 1–3 using 4x2 - 2x + 7 as the dividend. 3x + 4 x + 1) 3x3 + 4x2 + x 3x3 + 3x 2 4x - 2x 4x2 - 2x 2

COMMENT  When the degree of the divisor is greater than the degree of the dividend, the process ends. j

d

+ 7 + 7 + 4 + 3

d Divide 4x 2 by x 2 to get 4. d Multiply (x 2 + 1) by 4; subtract.

Since x2 does not divide - 2x evenly (that is, the result is not a monomial), the process ends. The quotient is 3x + 4, and the remainder is - 2x + 3. Check: Quotient # Divisor + Remainder

= 13x + 42 1x2 + 12 + 1 - 2x + 32 = 3x3 + 3x + 4x2 + 4 - 2x + 3 = 3x3 + 4x2 + x + 7 = Dividend Then 3x3 + 4x2 + x + 7 - 2x + 3 = 3x + 4 + 2 2 x + 1 x + 1 The next example combines the steps involved in long division.

5 Factor Polynomials Consider the following product: 12x + 32 1x - 42 = 2x2 - 5x - 12

COMMENT  Over the real numbers, 3x + 4 factors into 31x + 43 2. It is the fraction 43 that causes 3x + 4 to be prime over the integers. j

The two polynomials on the left side are called factors of the polynomial on the right side. Expressing a given polynomial as a product of other polynomials—that is, finding the factors of a polynomial—is called factoring. We restrict our discussion here to factoring polynomials in one variable into products of polynomials in one variable, where all coefficients are integers. We call this factoring over the integers. Any polynomial can be written as the product of 1 times itself or as - 1 times its additive inverse. If a polynomial cannot be written as the product of two other polynomials (excluding 1 and - 1), then the polynomial is prime. When a polynomial has been written as a product consisting only of prime factors, it is factored completely. Examples of prime polynomials (over the integers) are 2, 3, 5, x, x + 1, x - 1, 3x + 4, x2 + 4

A28

The first factor to look for in a factoring problem is a common monomial factor present in each term of the polynomial. If one is present, use the Distributive Property to factor it out. Continue factoring out monomial factors until none are left.

Notice that once all common monomial factors have been removed from a polynomial, the remaining factor is either a prime polynomial of degree 1 or a polynomial of degree 2 or higher. (Do you see why?) The list of special products (2) through (6) given earlier provides a list of factoring formulas when the equations are read from right to left. For example, equation (2) states that if the polynomial is the difference of two squares, x2 - a2, it can be factored into 1x - a2 1x + a2. The following example illustrates several factoring techniques.

6 Complete the Square The idea behind completing the square in one variable is to “adjust” an expression of the form x2 + bx to make it a perfect square. Perfect squares are trinomials of the form x2 + 2ax + a2 = 1x + a2 2 or x2 - 2ax + a2 = 1x - a2 2

For example, x2 + 6x + 9 is a perfect square because x2 + 6x + 9 = 1x + 32 2. And p2 - 12p + 36 is a perfect square because p2 - 12p + 36 = 1p - 62 2. So how do we “adjust” x2 + bx to make it a perfect square? We do it by adding a number. For example, to make x2 + 6x a perfect square, add 9. But how do we know to add 9? If we divide the coefficient of the first-degree term, 6, by 2, and then square the result, we obtain 9. This approach works in general.

Are you wondering why we refer to making an expression a perfect square as “completing the square”? Look at the square in Figure 22. Its area is 1y + 42 2. The yellow area is y2 and each orange area is 4y (for a total area of 8y). The sum of these areas is y2 + 8y. To complete the square, we need to add the area of the green region, which is 4 # 4 = 16. As a result, y2 + 8y + 16 = 1y + 42 2.

= 2x3 + 5x2 + 15x - 6x2 - 15x - 45 + 48 = 2x3 - x2 + 3 The process of synthetic division arises from rewriting the long division in a more compact form, using simpler notation. For example, in the long division above, the terms in blue are not really necessary because they are identical to the terms directly above them. With these terms removed, we have 2x2 + 5x + 15 x - 3) 2x3 - x2 + 3 - 6x2 5x2 - 15x 15x - 45 48 Most of the x’s that appear in this process can also be removed, provided that we are careful about positioning each coefficient. In this regard, we will need to use 0 as the coefficient of x in the dividend, because that power of x is missing. Now we have 2x2 + 5x + 15 x - 3) 2 - 1 0 - 6 5 - 15 15

Row 1 Row 2 Row 3 Row 4

Because the leading coefficient of the divisor is always 1, the leading coefficient of the dividend will also be the leading coefficient of the quotient. So we place the leading coefficient of the quotient, 2, in the circled position. Now, the first three numbers in row 4 are precisely the coefficients of the quotient, and the last number

Recall that the entries in row 3 are obtained by subtracting the entries in row 2 from those in row 1. Rather than subtracting the entries in row 2, we can change the sign of each entry and add. With this modification, our display will look like this: 3 45 48

Notice that the entries in row 2 are three times the prior entries in row 3. Our last modification to the display replaces the x - 3 by 3. The entries in row 3 give the quotient and the remainder, as shown next. - 1 0 6 15 25 5 15

Using Synthetic Division to Verify a Factor Use synthetic division to show that x + 3 is a factor of 2x5 + 5x4 - 2x3 + 2x2 - 2x + 3

Solution

The divisor is x + 3 = x - 1 - 32, so place - 3 to the left of the division symbol. Then the row 3 entries will be multiplied by - 3, entered in row 2, and added to row 1. - 3) 2 2

APPENDIX A Review

Rational expressions are described in the same manner as rational numbers. In expression (a), the polynomial x3 + 1 is the numerator, and x is the denominator. When the numerator and denominator of a rational expression contain no common factors (except 1 and - 1), we say that the rational expression is reduced to lowest terms, or simplified. The polynomial in the denominator of a rational expression cannot be equal to 0 x3 + 1 because division by 0 is not defined. For example, for the expression , x cannot x take on the value 0. The domain of the variable x is 5 x 0 x ≠ 06 . A rational expression is reduced to lowest terms by factoring the numerator and the denominator completely and canceling any common factors using the Cancellation Property:

Cancellation Property ac a = bc b

x2 + 3x + 2 = 1x + 22 1x + 12

Since a common factor, x + 2, appears, the original expression is not in lowest terms. To reduce it to lowest terms, use the Cancellation Property: 1x + 22 1x + 22 x2 + 4x + 4 x + 2 = = 2 1x + 22 1x + 12 x + 1 x + 3x + 2

4 Use the Least Common Multiple Method If the denominators of two rational expressions to be added (or subtracted) have common factors, we usually do not use the general rules given by equations (5a) and (5b). Just as with fractions, we use the least common multiple (LCM) method. The LCM method uses the polynomial of least degree that has each denominator polynomial as a factor. The LCM Method for Adding or Subtracting Rational Expressions The Least Common Multiple (LCM) Method requires four steps: Step 1:  Factor completely the polynomial in the denominator of each rational expression. Step 2:  The LCM of the denominators is the product of each unique factor, with each of these factors raised to a power equal to the greatest number of times that the factor occurs in any denominator. Step 3:  Write each rational expression using the LCM as the common denominator. Step 4:  Add or subtract the rational expressions using equation (4). We begin with an example that requires only Steps 1 and 2.

E XAM PLE 6

Finding the Least Common Multiple Find the least common multiple of the following pair of polynomials:

and 41x - 12 1x + 12 3

x1x - 12 2 1x + 12

and 41x - 12 1x + 12 3

Step 1: The polynomials are already factored completely as

Step 2: S  tart by writing the factors of the left-hand polynomial. (Or you could start with the one on the right.) x1x - 12 2 1x + 12

Now look at the right-hand polynomial. Its first factor, 4, does not appear in our list, so we insert it. 4x1x - 12 2 1x + 12

The next factor, x - 1, is already in our list, so no change is necessary. The final factor is 1x + 12 3. Since our list has x + 1 to the first power only, we replace x + 1 in the list by 1x + 12 3. The LCM is 4x1x - 12 2 1x + 12 3

Notice that the LCM is, in fact, the polynomial of least degree that contains x1x - 12 2 1x + 12 and 41x - 12 1x + 12 3 as factors.

A.6  Solving Equations PREPARING FOR THIS SECTION  Before getting started, review the following: • Factoring Polynomials (Section A.3, pp. A27–A28) • Zero-Product Property (Section A.1, p. A4)

• Square Roots (Section A.1, pp. A9–A10) • Absolute Value (Section A.1, pp. A5–A6)

Now Work  the ‘Are You Prepared?’ problems on page A51.

OBJECTIVES 1  Solve Equations by Factoring (p. A46)

2  Solve Equations Involving Absolute Value (p. A46) 3  Solve a Quadratic Equation by Factoring (p. A47) 4  Solve a Quadratic Equation by Completing the Square (p. A48) 5  Solve a Quadratic Equation Using the Quadratic Formula (p. A49)

An equation in one variable is a statement in which two expressions, at least one containing the variable, are equal. The expressions are called the sides of the equation. Since an equation is a statement, it may be true or false, depending on the value of the variable. Unless otherwise restricted, the admissible values of the variable are those in the domain of the variable. These admissible values of  the variable, if any, that result in a true statement are called solutions, or roots, of the equation. To solve an equation means to find all the solutions of the equation. For example, the following are all equations in one variable, x: x + 5 = 9

x2 + 5x = 2x - 2

x2 - 4 = 0 x + 1

2x2 + 9 = 5

The first of these statements, x + 5 = 9, is true when x = 4 and false for any other choice of x. That is, 4 is the solution of the equation x + 5 = 9. We also say that 4 satisfies the equation x + 5 = 9, because, when 4 is substituted for x, a true statement results. Sometimes an equation will have more than one solution. For example, the equation x2 - 4 = 0 x + 1 has - 2 and 2 as solutions. Usually, we write the solutions of an equation as a set, called the solution set of the equation. For example, the solution set of the equation x2 - 9 = 0 is 5 - 3, 36 . Some equations have no real solution. For example, x2 + 9 = 5 has no real solution, because there is no real number whose square, when added to 9, equals 5. An equation that is satisfied for every value of the variable for which both sides are defined is called an identity. For example, the equation 3x + 5 = x + 3 + 2x + 2 is an identity, because this statement is true for any real number x. One method for solving an equation is to replace the original equation by a succession of equivalent equations, equations having the same solution set, until an equation with an obvious solution is obtained. For example, consider the following succession of equivalent equations: 2x + 3 = 13 2x = 10 x = 5 We conclude that the solution set of the original equation is 5 56 .

SECTION A.6  Solving Equations 

A45

How do we obtain equivalent equations? In general, there are five ways. Procedures That Result in Equivalent Equations 

• Interchange the two sides of the equation: Replace 3 = x by x = 3

• Simplify the sides of the equation by combining like terms, eliminating parentheses, and so on: Replace by

1x + 22 + 6 = 2x + 1x + 12 x + 8 = 3x + 1

• Add or subtract the same expression on both sides of the equation: 3x - 5 = 4 13x - 52 + 5 = 4 + 5

Replace by

• Multiply or divide both sides of the equation by the same nonzero expression: 3x 6 = x - 1 x - 1

Replace

3x # 6 # 1x - 12 = 1x - 12 x - 1 x - 1

by WARNING  Squaring both sides of an equation does not necessarily lead to an equivalent equation. For example, x = 3 has one solution, but x2 = 9 has two solutions, - 3 and 3.  j

x ≠ 1

• If one side of the equation is 0 and the other side can be factored, then write it as the product of factors:

x2 - 3x = 0 x1x - 32 = 0

Replace by

Whenever it is possible to solve an equation in your head, do so. For example, • The solution of 2x = 8 is 4. • The solution of 3x - 15 = 0 is 5. Now Work

Replace the original equation by a succession of equivalent equations. 3x - 5 13x - 52 + 5 3x 3x 3 x

Add 5 to both sides. Simplify. Divide both sides by 3. Simplify.

The last equation, x = 3, has the solution 3. All these equations are equivalent, so 3 is the only solution of the original equation, 3x - 5 = 4. Check: Check the solution by substituting 3 for x in the original equation. 3x - 5 = 3 # 3 - 5 = 9 - 5 = 4

3 Solve a Quadratic Equation by Factoring DEFINITION  Quadratic Equation A quadratic equation is an equation equivalent to one of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0(1)



where a, b, and c are real numbers and a ≠ 0. A quadratic equation written in the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 is said to be in standard form. Sometimes, a quadratic equation is called a second-degree equation because, when it is in standard form, the left side is a polynomial of degree 2. When a quadratic equation is written in standard form, it may be possible to factor the expression on the left side into the product of two first-degree polynomials. Then, using the Zero-Product Property and setting each factor equal to 0, the resulting linear equations can be solved to obtain the solutions of the quadratic equation.

E XAM PLE 4

Solving a Quadratic Equation by Factoring Solve the equation:  2x2 = x + 3

The Square Root Method Suppose that we wish to solve the quadratic equation x2 = p(2)



where p 7 0 is a positive number. Proceeding as in the earlier examples, x2 - p = 0



1x - 1p2 1x + 1p2 = 0 x = 1p or x = - 1p

Put in standard form. Factor (over the real numbers). Solve.

We have the following result:

If x2 = p and p 7 0, then x = 1p or x = - 1p .(3)

When statement (3) is used, it is called the Square Root Method. In statement (3), note that if p 7 0 the equation x2 = p has two solutions, x = 1p and x = - 1p . We usually abbreviate these solutions as x = { 1p, which is read as “x equals plus or minus the square root of p.” For example, the two solutions of the equation x2 = 4 are x = { 24 Use the Square Root Method.

5 Solve a Quadratic Equation Using the Quadratic Formula We can use the method of completing the square to obtain a general formula for solving any quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 NOTE  There is no loss in generality to assume that a 7 0, since if a 6 0 we can multiply by - 1 to obtain an equivalent equation with a positive leading coefficient. j

What if b2 - 4ac is negative? Then equation (4) states that the left expression (a real number squared) equals the right expression (a negative number). Since this is impossible for real numbers, we conclude that if b2 - 4ac 6 0, the quadratic equation has no real solution. (We discuss quadratic equations for which the quantity b2 - 4ac 6 0 in detail in the next section.)

THEOREM  Quadratic Formula Consider the quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0

a ≠ 0

• If b2 - 4ac 6 0, this equation has no real solution. • If b2 - 4ac Ú 0, the real solution(s) of this equation is (are) given by the quadratic formula:



x =

The quantity b2 − 4ac is called the discriminant of the quadratic equation, because its value tells us whether the equation has real solutions. In fact, it also tells us how many solutions to expect.

Discriminant of a Quadratic Equation For a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, a ≠ 0:

• If b2 - 4ac 7 0, there are two unequal real solutions. • If b2 - 4ac = 0, there is a repeated solution, a double root. • If b2 - 4ac 6 0, there is no real solution. When asked to find the real solutions of a quadratic equation, always evaluate the discriminant first to see if there are any real solutions.

A.7  Complex Numbers; Quadratic Equations in the Complex Number System*

OBJECTIVES 1  Add, Subtract, Multiply, and Divide Complex Numbers (p. A55)

2  Solve Quadratic Equations in the Complex Number System (p. A59)

Complex Numbers One property of a real number is that its square is nonnegative. For example, there is no real number x for which x2 = - 1 To remedy this situation, we introduce a new number called the imaginary unit.

DEFINITION  The Imaginary Unit The imaginary unit, which we denote by i, is the number whose square is - 1. That is, i2 = - 1

This should not surprise you. If our universe were to consist only of integers, there would be no number x for which 2x = 1. This was remedied by introducing 2 1 numbers such as and , the rational numbers. If our universe were to consist only 3 2 of rational numbers, there would be no number whose square equals 2. That is, there would be no x for which x2 = 2. To remedy this, we introduced numbers such as 22 3 and 2 5, the irrational numbers. Recall that the real numbers consist of the rational numbers and the irrational numbers. Now, if our universe were to consist only of real numbers, then there would be no number x whose square is - 1. To remedy this, we introduce the number i, whose square is - 1. In the progression outlined, each time we encountered a situation that was unsuitable, a new number system was introduced to remedy the situation. The number system that results from introducing the number i is called the complex number system. *

This section may be omitted without any loss of continuity.

SECTION A.7  Complex Numbers; Quadratic Equations in the Complex Number System 

A55

DEFINITION  The Complex Number System Complex numbers are numbers of the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers. The real number a is called the real part of the number a + bi; the real number b is called the imaginary part of a + bi; and i is the imaginary unit, so i 2 = - 1. For example, the complex number - 5 + 6i has the real part - 5 and the imaginary part 6. When a complex number is written in the form a + bi, where a and b are real numbers, it is in standard form. However, if the imaginary part of a complex number is negative, such as in the complex number 3 + 1 - 22i, we agree to write it instead in the form 3 - 2i. Also, the complex number a + 0i is usually written merely as a. This serves to remind us that the real numbers are a subset of the complex numbers. Similarly, the complex number 0 + bi is usually written as bi. Sometimes the complex number bi is called a pure imaginary number.

Add, Subtract, Multiply, and Divide Complex Numbers Equality, addition, subtraction, and multiplication of complex numbers are defined so as to preserve the familiar rules of algebra for real numbers. Two complex numbers are equal if and only if their real parts are equal and their imaginary parts are equal. Equality of Complex Numbers

a + bi = c + di

if and only if

a = c and b = d(1)

Two complex numbers are added by forming the complex number whose real part is the sum of the real parts and whose imaginary part is the sum of the imaginary parts. Sum of Complex Numbers

1a + bi2 + 1c + di2 = 1a + c2 + 1b + d2 i(2) To subtract two complex numbers, use this rule:

Do not bother to memorize formula (4). Instead, whenever it is necessary to multiply two complex numbers, follow the usual rules for multiplying two binomials, as we did in Example 2. Just remember that i 2 = - 1. For example, 12i2 12i2 = 4i 2 = 41 - 12 = - 4

Algebraic properties for addition and multiplication, such as the commutative, associative, and distributive properties, hold for complex numbers. The property that every nonzero complex number has a multiplicative inverse, or reciprocal, requires a closer look.

Conjugates DEFINITION  Complex Conjugate

In Words

The conjugate of a complex number is found by changing the sign of the imaginary part.

If z = a + bi is a complex number, then its conjugate, denoted by z, is defined as z = a + bi = a - bi For example, 2 + 3i = 2 - 3i and - 6 - 2i = - 6 + 2i.

NOTE  The icon is a Model It! icon. It indicates that the discussion or problem involves modeling. j

Applied (word) problems do not come in the form “Solve the equation. . . .” Instead, they supply information using words, a verbal description of the real problem. So, to solve applied problems, we must be able to translate the verbal description into the language of mathematics. This can be done by using variables to represent unknown quantities and then finding relationships (such as equations) that involve these variables. The process of doing all this is called mathematical modeling. An equation or inequality that describes a relationship among the variables is called a model. Any solution to the mathematical problem must be checked against the mathematical problem, the verbal description, and the real problem. See Figure 23 for an illustration of the modeling process.

Always check the units used to measure the variables of an applied problem. In Example 1(a), if r is measured in miles per hour, then the distance d must be expressed in miles, and the time t must be expressed in hours. It is a good practice to check units to be sure that they are consistent and make sense.

Steps for Solving Applied Problems Step 1: Read the problem carefully, perhaps two or three times. Pay particular attention to the question being asked in order to identify what you are looking for. Identify any relevant formulas you may need 1d = rt, A = pr 2, etc.2 . If you can, determine realistic possibilities for the answer. Step 2: Assign a letter (variable) to represent what you are looking for, and if necessary, express any remaining unknown quantities in terms of this variable. Step 3: Make a list of all the known facts, and translate them into mathematical expressions. These may take the form of an equation or an inequality involving the variable. If possible, draw an appropriately labeled diagram to assist you. Sometimes, creating a table or chart helps. Step 4: Solve for the variable, and then answer the question. Step 5: Check the answer with the facts in the problem. If it agrees, congratulations! If it does not agree, review your work and try again.

Solve Interest Problems Interest is money paid for the use of money. The total amount borrowed (whether by an individual from a bank in the form of a loan, or by a bank from an individual in the form of a savings account) is called the principal. The rate of interest, expressed as a percent, is the amount charged for the use of the principal for a given period of time, usually on a yearly (that is, per annum) basis.

Simple Interest Formula If a principal of P dollars is borrowed for a period of t years at a per annum interest rate r, expressed as a decimal, the interest I charged is

I = Prt(1)

A64 

APPENDIX A Review

Interest charged according to formula (1) is called simple interest. When using formula (1), be sure to express r as a decimal. For example, if the rate of interest is 4%, then r = 0.04.

Finance: Computing Interest on a Loan Suppose that Juanita borrows $500 for 6 months at the simple interest rate of 9% per annum. What is the interest that Juanita will be charged on the loan? How much does Juanita owe after 6 months?

Solution

The rate of interest is given per annum, so the actual time that the money is borrowed must be expressed in years. The interest charged would be the principal, $500, times 1 the rate of interest 19, = 0.092, times the time in years, : 2 Interest charged = I = Prt = 500 # 0.09 #

1 = $22.50 2

After 6 months, Juanita will owe what she borrowed plus the interest: $500 + $22.50 = $522.50

Financial Planning Candy has $70,000 to invest and wants an annual return of $2800, which requires an overall rate of return of 4%. She can invest in a safe, government-insured certificate of deposit, but it pays only 2%. To obtain 4%, she agrees to invest some of her money in noninsured corporate bonds paying 7%. How much should be placed in each investment to achieve her goal?

Solution

Step 1: The question is asking for two dollar amounts: the principal to invest in the corporate bonds and the principal to invest in the certificate of deposit. Step 2: Let b represent the amount (in dollars) to be invested in the bonds. Then 70,000 - b is the amount that will be invested in the certificate. (Do you see why?) Step 3: We set up a table: Principal ($)

NOTE: We could have also let c represent the amount invested in the certificate and 70,000 - c the amount invested in bonds. j

Since the combined interest from the investments is equal to the total interest, we have Bond interest + Certificate interest = Total interest 0.07b + 0.02170,000 - b2 = 2800 (Note that the units are consistent: the unit is dollars on both sides.) Step 4: 0.07b + 1400 - 0.02b = 2800

  Simplify. b = 28,000  Divide both sides by 0.05.

0.05b = 1400

Candy should place $28,000 in the bonds and $70,000 - 28,000 = $42,000 in the certificate. Step 5: The interest on the bonds after 1 year is 0.071$28,0002 = $1960; the interest on the certificate after 1 year is 0.021$42,0002 = $840. The total annual interest is $2800, the required amount.

Blending Coffees The manager of a Starbucks store decides to experiment with a new blend of coffee. She will mix some B grade Colombian coffee that sells for $5 per pound with some A grade Arabica coffee that sells for $10 per pound to get 100 pounds of the new blend. The selling price of the new blend is to be $7 per pound, and there is to be no difference in revenue between selling the new blend and selling the other types ­separately. How many pounds of the B grade Colombian coffee and how many pounds of the A grade Arabica coffees are required?

4 Solve Uniform Motion Problems Objects that move at a constant speed are said to be in uniform motion. When the average speed of an object is known, it can be interpreted as that object’s constant speed. For example, a bicyclist traveling at an average speed of 25 miles per hour can be modeled as being in uniform motion with a constant speed of 25 miles per hour.

Uniform Motion Formula If an object moves at an average speed (rate) r, the distance d covered in time t is given by the formula

d = rt(2)

Solution

See Figure 26. Use r to represent the constant speed of the motorboat relative to the water. Then the true speed going upstream is r - 3 mi/h, and the true speed going Distance downstream is r + 3 mi/h. Since Distance = Rate # Time, then Time = . Rate Set up a table.

2  Use Properties of Inequalities (p. A74) 3  Solve Inequalities (p. A76) 4  Solve Combined Inequalities (p. A77) 5  Solve Inequalities Involving Absolute Value (p. A78)

Suppose that a and b are two real numbers and a 6 b. The notation a 6 x 6 b means that x is a number between a and b. The expression a 6 x 6 b is equivalent to the two inequalities a 6 x and x 6 b. Similarly, the expression a … x … b is equivalent to the two inequalities a … x and x … b. The remaining two possibilities, a … x 6 b and a 6 x … b, are defined similarly. Although it is acceptable to write 3 Ú x Ú 2, it is preferable to reverse the inequality symbols and write instead 2 … x … 3 so that the values go from smaller to larger, reading from left to right. A statement such as 2 … x … 1 is false because there is no number x for which 2 … x and x … 1. Finally, never mix inequality symbols, as in 2 … x Ú 3.

Use Interval Notation Let a and b represent two real numbers with a 6 b.

DEFINITION  Intervals

• An open interval, denoted by 1 a, b2 , consists of all real numbers x for which a 6 x 6 b. • A closed interval, denoted by 3a, b4 , consists of all real numbers x for which a … x … b. T   • he half-open, or half-closed, intervals are 1 a, b4 , consisting of all real numbers x for which a 6 x … b, and 3a, b2 , consisting of all real numbers x for which a … x 6 b.

In Words

The notation [a, b] means all real numbers between a and b, ­inclusive. The notation (a, b) means all real numbers between a and b, not including a and b.

In each of these definitions, a is called the left endpoint and b the right endpoint of the interval. The symbol q (read as “infinity”) is not a real number, but notation used to indicate unboundedness in the positive direction. The symbol - q (read as “negative infinity”) also is not a real number, but notation used to indicate unboundedness in the negative direction. The symbols q and - q are used to define five other kinds of intervals: 3a, ˆ 2 1 a, ˆ 2 1 − ˆ , a4 1 − ˆ , a2 1 −ˆ , ˆ 2

Use Properties of Inequalities The product of two positive real numbers is positive, the product of two negative real numbers is positive, and the product of 0 and 0 is 0. For any real number a, the value of a2 is 0 or positive; that is, a2 is nonnegative. This is called the nonnegative property.

In Words

The square of a real number is never negative.

Nonnegative Property For any real number a, a2 Ú 0(1)



When the same number is added to both sides of an inequality, an equivalent inequality is obtained. For example, since 3 6 5, then 3 + 4 6 5 + 4 or 7 6 9. This is called the addition property of inequalities.

In Words

The addition property states that the sense, or direction, of an inequality remains unchanged if the same number is added to both sides.

Multiplying an Inequality by a Positive Number Express as an inequality the result of multiplying both sides of the inequality 3 6 7 by 2.

Solution

Begin with 3 6 7 Multiplying both sides by 2 yields the numbers 6 and 14, so we have 6 6 14

E XAM PLE 5

Multiplying an Inequality by a Negative Number Express as an inequality the result of multiplying both sides of the inequality 9 7 2 by - 4.

Solution

Begin with 9 7 2 Multiplying both sides by - 4 yields the numbers - 36 and - 8, so we have - 36 6 - 8

In Words

Multiplying by a negative number reverses the inequality.

In Words

The multiplication properties state that the sense, or direction, of an inequality remains the same if both sides are multiplied by a positive real number, whereas the direction is reversed if both sides are multiplied by a negative real number.

E XAM PLE 6

Note that the effect of multiplying both sides of 9 7 2 by the negative number - 4 is that the direction of the inequality symbol is reversed. Examples 4 and 5 illustrate the following general multiplication properties for inequalities:

3 Solve Inequalities An inequality in one variable is a statement involving two expressions, at least one containing the variable, separated by one of the inequality symbols: 6 , … , 7 , or Ú . To solve an inequality means to find all values of the variable for which the statement is true. These values are called solutions of the inequality. For example, the following are all inequalities involving one variable x: x + 5 6 8

2x - 3 Ú 4

x2 - 1 … 3

x + 1 7 0 x - 2

As with equations, one method for solving an inequality is to replace it by a series of equivalent inequalities until an inequality with an obvious solution, such as x 6 3, is obtained. Equivalent inequalities are obtained by applying some of the same properties that are used to find equivalent equations. The addition property and the multiplication properties for inequalities form the basis for the following procedures. Procedures That Leave the Inequality Symbol Unchanged

• Simplify both sides of the inequality by combining like terms and eliminating parentheses:

Replace x + 2 + 6 7 2x + 51x + 12 by

x + 8 7 7x + 5

• Add or subtract the same expression on both sides of the inequality: Replace 3x - 5 6 4 by 13x - 52 + 5 6 4 + 5

• Multiply or divide both sides of the inequality by the same positive expression: Replace 4x 7 16 by

4x 16 7 4 4

Procedures That Reverse the Sense or Direction of the Inequality Symbol

• Interchange the two sides of the inequality: Replace 3 6 x by x 7 3

• Multiply or divide both sides of the inequality by the same negative expression:

Replace

- 2x 7 6 by

- 2x 6 6 -2 -2

Work with nth Roots DEFINITION  Principal nth Root n

The principal nth root of a real number a, n Ú 2 an integer, symbolized by 2a, is defined as follows: n

2a = b means a = bn

where a Ú 0 and b Ú 0 if n is even and a, b are any real numbers if n is odd. n

In Words

Notice that if a is negative and n is even, then 2a is not defined. When it is defined, the principal nth root of a number is unique.

n

The symbol 2a means “what is the number that, when raised to the power n, equals a.”

n

The symbol 2a for the principal nth root of a is called a radical; the integer n is 2 called the index, and a is called the radicand. If the index of a radical is 2, we call 2 a the square root of a and omit the index 2 by simply writing 1a. If the index is 3, we

3 call 2 a the cube root of a.

These are examples of perfect roots, since each simplifies to a rational number. Notice the absolute value in Example 1(d). If n is even, then the principal nth root must be nonnegative. In general, if n Ú 2 is an integer and a is a real number, we have n

2a n = a

Radicals provide a way of representing many irrational real numbers. For example, it can be shown that there is no rational number whose square is 2. Using radicals, we can say that 12 is the positive number whose square is 2.

3 Rationalize Denominators and Numerators When radicals occur in quotients, it is customary to rewrite the quotient so that the new denominator contains no radicals.

4 Solve Radical Equations When the variable in an equation occurs in a square root, cube root, and so on—that is, when it occurs in a radical—the equation is called a radical equation. Sometimes a suitable operation will change a radical equation to one that is linear or quadratic. A commonly used procedure is to isolate the most complicated radical on one side of the equation and then eliminate it by raising both sides to a power equal to the index of the radical. Care must be taken, however, because apparent solutions that are not, in fact, solutions of the original equation may result. These are called extraneous solutions. Therefore, we need to check all answers when working with radical equations, and we check them in the original equation.

E XAM PLE 7 Solution

Solving a Radical Equation 3 Find the real solutions of the equation: 2 2x - 4 - 2 = 0

The equation contains a radical whose index is 3. Isolate it on the left side. 3

22x - 4 - 2 = 0

22x - 4 = 2  Add 2 to both sides. 3

Now raise both sides to the third power (the index of the radical is 3) and solve. 3 12 2x

Divide both sides by 2.

Figure 2  Viewing window on a

TI-84 Plus C

All graphing utilities (that is, all graphing calculators and all computer software graphing packages) graph equations by plotting points on a screen. The screen itself actually consists of small rectangles called pixels. The more pixels the screen has, the better the resolution. Most graphing calculators have 50 to 100 pixels per inch; most smartphones have 300 to 450 pixels per inch. When a point to be plotted lies inside a pixel, the pixel is turned on (lights up). The graph of an equation is a collection of pixels. Figure 1(a) shows how the graph of y = 2x looks on a TI-84 Plus C graphing calculator, and Figure 1(b) shows the same graph using Desmos.com. The screen of a graphing utility displays the coordinate axes of a rectangular coordinate system. However, the scale must be set on each axis. The smallest and largest values of x and y to be included in the graph must also be set. This is called setting the viewing rectangle or viewing window. Figure 2 shows a typical viewing window on a TI-84 Plus C. To select the viewing window, values must be given to the following expressions: Xmin: Xmax: Xscl: Ymin: Ymax: Yscl:

the smallest value of x the largest value of x the number of units per tick mark on the x-axis the smallest value of y the largest value of y the number of units per tick mark on the y-axis

Figure 3 illustrates these settings and their relation to the Cartesian coordinate system.

Figure 3 

If the scale used on each axis is known, the minimum and maximum values of x and y shown on the screen can be determined by counting the tick marks. Look again at Figure 2. For a scale of 1 on each axis, the minimum and maximum values of x are - 10 and 10, respectively; the minimum and maximum values of y are

also - 10 and 10. If the scale is 2 on each axis, then the minimum and maximum values of x are - 20 and 20, respectively; and the minimum and maximum values of y are - 20 and 20, respectively. Conversely, if the minimum and maximum values of x and y are known, the scales can be determined by counting the tick marks displayed. This text follows the practice of showing the minimum and maximum values of x and y in illustrations so that the reader will know how the viewing window was set. See Figure 4.

B.2  Using a Graphing Utility to Graph Equations From Examples 2 and 3 in Section 1.2, recall that one way a graph can be obtained is by plotting points in a rectangular coordinate system and connecting them. Graphing utilities perform these same steps when graphing an equation. For example, the TI-84 Plus C determines 265 evenly spaced input values,* starting at Xmin and ending at Xmax; uses the equation to determine the output values; plots these points on the screen; and finally (if in the connected mode) draws a line between consecutive points. To graph an equation in two variables x and y using a graphing utility often requires that the equation be written explicitly in the form y = 5 expression in x6 . If the original equation is not in this form, replace it by equivalent equations until the form y = 5 expression in x6 is obtained. Steps for Graphing an Equation Using a Graphing Utility  Step 1: Solve the equation for y in terms of x. Step 2: Get into the graphing mode of the graphing utility. The screen will usually display Y1 = , prompting you to enter the expression involving x found in Step 1. (Consult your manual for the correct way to enter the expression; for example, y = x2 might be entered as x ¿ 2 or as x*x or as x xy 2.) Step 3: Select the viewing window. Without prior knowledge about the behavior of the graph of the equation, it is common to select the standard viewing window** initially. The viewing window is then adjusted based on the graph that appears. In this text the standard viewing window is Xmin = - 10 Xmax = 10 Xscl = 1 Ymin = - 10 Ymax = 10 Yscl = 1 Step 4: Graph. Step 5: Adjust the viewing window until a complete graph is obtained.

NOTE  Some graphing utilities allow input of implicit equations. For example, Figure 6 shows the graph of 6x2 + 3y = 36 using Desmos.  j

Figure 6  6x2 + 3y = 36

*These input values depend on the values of Xmin and Xmax. For example, if Xmin = - 10 and Xmax = 10, 10 - 1 - 102 = - 9.9242, then the first input value will be - 10 and the next input value will be - 10 + 264 and so on. **Some graphing utilities have a ZOOM-STANDARD feature that automatically sets the viewing window to the standard viewing window and graphs the equation.

APPENDIX B Graphing Utilities

Graphing an Equation on a Graphing Utility Graph the equation  6x2 + 3y = 36.

Solution

Step 1:  Solve for y in terms of x. 6x2 + 3y = 36 3y = - 6x2 + 36  Subtract 6x 2 from both sides. y = - 2x2 + 12  Divide both sides by 3 and simplify. Step Step Step Step

2:  From the Y1 = screen, enter the expression - 2x2 + 12 after the prompt. 3:  Set the viewing window to the standard viewing window. 4:  Graph. The screen should look like Figure 7. 5:  The graph of y = - 2x2 + 12 is not complete. The value of Ymax must be increased so that the top portion of the graph is visible. After increasing the value of Ymax to 12, we obtain the graph in Figure 8. The graph is now complete.

B.3  Using a Graphing Utility to Locate Intercepts and Check for Symmetry Value and Zero (or Root) Most graphing utilities have an eVALUEate feature that, given a value of x, determines the value of y for an equation. This feature is useful for evaluating an equation at x = 0 to find the y-intercept. Most graphing utilities also have a ZERO (or ROOT) feature that is used to find the x-intercept(s) of an equation. NOTE  Some graphing utilities automatically identify key points such as intercepts and intersection points. For example, Figure 11 shows the graph of y = x3 - 8 using Desmos where the intercepts are already identified.  j■

Finding Intercepts Using a Graphing Utility Use a graphing utility to find the intercepts of the equation y = x3 - 8.

Solution

Figure 12(a) shows the graph of y = x3 - 8 on a TI-84 Plus C graphing calculator. The eVALUEate feature of a TI-84 Plus C accepts as input a value of x and determines the value of y. Letting x = 0, we find that the y-intercept is - 8. See Figure 12(b). The ZERO feature of a TI-84 Plus C is used to find the x-intercept(s). See Figure 12(c). The x-intercept is 2.

Figure 13 shows the graph. Infer from the graph that there are no intercepts; also infer that symmetry with respect to the origin is a possibility. The TABLE feature on a graphing utility provides further evidence of symmetry with respect to the origin. Using a TABLE, observe that for any ordered pair (x, y), the ordered pair 1 - x, - y2 is also a point on the graph. See Table 2. (continued)

B.4  Using a Graphing Utility to Solve Equations For many equations, there are no algebraic techniques that lead to a solution. For such equations, a graphing utility is often used to investigate possible solutions. When a graphing utility is used to solve an equation, approximate solutions usually are obtained. Unless otherwise stated, this text follows the practice of giving approximate solutions rounded to two decimal places. The ZERO (or ROOT) feature of a graphing utility is often used to find the solutions of an equation when one side of the equation is 0. In using this feature to solve equations, make use of the fact that the x-intercepts (or zeros) of the graph of an equation are found by letting y = 0 and solving the equation for x. Solving an equation for x when one side of the equation is 0 is equivalent to finding where the graph of the corresponding equation crosses or touches the x-axis.

Using ZERO (or ROOT) to Approximate Solutions of an Equation Find the solution(s) of the equation x2 - 6x + 7 = 0. Round answers to two decimal places.

Solution

The solutions of the equation x2 - 6x + 7 = 0 are the same as the x-intercepts of the graph of Y1 = x2 - 6x + 7. Begin by graphing the equation. See Figure 14(a) for the graph using a TI-84 Plus C. From the graph there appear to be two x-intercepts (solutions to the equation): one between 1 and 2, the other between 4 and 5. Using the ZERO (or ROOT) feature of the graphing utility, determine that the x-intercepts, and thus the solutions to the equation, are x = 1.59 and x = 4.41, rounded to two decimal places. See Figures 14(b) and (c).

A second method for solving equations using a graphing utility involves the INTERSECT feature of the graphing utility. This feature is used most effectively when one side of the equation is not 0.

E XAM PLE 2

Using INTERSECT to Approximate Solutions of an Equation Find the solution(s) of the equation 31x - 22 = 51x - 12 .

Solution

Begin by graphing each side of the equation as follows: graph Y1 = 31x - 22 and Y2 = 51x - 12. See Figure 15(a) for the graph using a TI-84 Plus C. At the point of intersection of the graphs, the value of the y-coordinate is the same. Conclude that the x-coordinate of the point of intersection represents the solution of the equation. Do you see why? The INTERSECT feature on a graphing utility determines the point of intersection of the graphs. Using this ­feature, find that the graphs intersect at 1 - 0.5, - 7.52 . See Figure 15(b). The ­solution of the equation is therefore x = - 0.5. Figure 15(c) shows the point of intersection using Desmos. 5

Most graphing utilities have a rectangular screen. Because of this, using the same settings for both x and y results in a distorted view. For example, Figure 17 shows the graphs of y = x and y = - x using a TI-84 Plus C with a standard viewing window. We expect the lines to intersect at right angles, but they do not. The selections for Xmin, Xmax, Ymin, and Ymax must be adjusted so that a square screen results. On the TI-84 Plus C, this is accomplished by setting the ratio of x to y at 8:5.* For example, if Xmin = - 16 Xmax = 16

then the ratio of x to y is 16 - 1 - 162 Xmax - Xmin 32 8 = = = Ymax - Ymin 10 - 1 - 102 20 5 for a ratio of 8:5, resulting in a square screen.

*Some graphing utilities have a built-in function that automatically squares the screen. For example, the TI-84 Plus C has a ZSquare function that does this. Some graphing utilities require a ratio other than 8:5 to square the screen. For example, the HP 48G requires the ratio of x to y to be 2:1 for a square screen. Consult your manual.

Graphing an Inequality Using a Graphing Utility Use a graphing utility to graph 3x + y - 6 … 0.

Solution

10

Y1 = −3x + 6 6

Begin by graphing the equation 3x + y - 6 = 0 1Y1 = - 3x + 62 . See Figure 19. As with graphing by hand, select test points from each region and determine whether they satisfy the inequality. To test the point 1 - 1, 22 , for example, enter 31 - 12 + 2 - 6 … 0. See Figure 20(a). The 1 that appears indicates that the statement entered (the inequality) is true. When the point 15, 52 is tested, a 0 appears, indicating that the statement entered is false. Thus, 1 - 1, 22 is a part of the graph of the inequality, and 15, 52 is not. Figure 20(b) shows the graph of the inequality on a TI-84 Plus C.* Figure 20(c) shows the graph using Desmos.

Steps for Graphing an Inequality Using a Graphing Utility  Step 1: Replace the inequality symbol by an equal sign, solve the equation for y, and graph the equation. Step 2: In each region, select a test point P and determine whether the coordinates of P satisfy the inequality. • If the test point satisfies the inequality, then so do all the points in the region. Indicate this by using the graphing utility to shade the region.   • If the coordinates of P do not satisfy the inequality, then neither will any of the other points in that region. *Consult your owner’s manual for shading techniques.

B.7  Using a Graphing Utility to Solve Systems of Linear Equations Most graphing utilities have the capability to put the augmented matrix of a system of linear equations in row echelon form. The next example, Example 6 from Section 11.2, demonstrates this feature using a TI-84 Plus C graphing calculator.

Solve the second equation for y to find that y = - 3. Back-substitute y = - 3 2 into x - y = 6 to find that x = 4. The solution of the system is x = 4, y = - 3, z = 1. 3

Figure 22 

Notice that the row echelon form of the augmented matrix using the graphing utility differs from the row echelon form obtained in Example 6 of Section 11.2, yet both matrices provide the same solution! This is because the two solutions used different row operations to obtain the row echelon form. In all likelihood, the two solutions parted ways in Step 4 of the algebraic solution, where fractions were avoided by interchanging rows 2 and 3. Most graphing utilities also have the ability to put a matrix in reduced row echelon form. Figure 22 shows the reduced row echelon form of the augmented matrix from Example 1 using the rref command on a TI-84 Plus C graphing calculator. Using this command, note that the solution of the system is still x = 4, y = - 3, z = 1.

B.8  Using a Graphing Utility to Graph a Polar Equation Most graphing utilities require the following steps in order to obtain the graph of a polar equation. Be sure to be in POLAR mode.

Graphing a Polar Equation Using a Graphing Utility  Step 1: Set the mode to POLAR. Solve the equation for r in terms of u. Step 2: Select the viewing rectangle in polar mode. Besides setting Xmin, Xmax, Xscl, and so forth, the viewing rectangle in polar mode requires setting the minimum and maximum values for u and an increment setting for u (ustep). In addition, a square screen and radian measure should be used. Step 3: Enter the expression involving u that you found in Step 1. (Consult your manual for the correct way to enter the expression.) Step 4: Graph.

The smaller ustep is, the more points the graphing utility will plot.

The graph is shown in Figure 23.

Step 3: Graph.

The interval is - 2 … t … 2, so select the following square viewing window: Tmin = - 2, Tmax = 2, Tstep = 0.1 Xmin = 0, Xmax = 16, Xscl = 1 Ymin = - 5, Ymax = 5, Yscl = 1

Step

Choose Tmin = - 2 and Tmax = 2 because - 2 … t … 2. Finally, the choice for Tstep will determine the number of points that the graphing utility will plot. For example, with Tstep at 0.1, the graphing utility will evaluate x and y at t = - 2, - 1.9, - 1.8, and so on. The smaller the Tstep, the more points the graphing utility will plot. Experiment with different values of Tstep to see how the graph is affected. 3:  Graph. Watch the direction in which the graph is drawn. This direction shows the orientation of the curve. Using a TI-84 Plus C, the graph shown in Figure 24 is complete.

67. Each graph is that of y = x2, but shifted horizontally. If y = 1x - k2 2, k 7 0, the shift is right k units; if y = 1x + k2 2, k 7 0, the shift is left k units. 

69. The graph of y = - f 1x2 is the reflection about the x-axis of the graph of y = f 1x2.  71. Yes. The graph of y = 1x - 12 3 + 2 is the graph of y = x3 shifted right 1 unit and up 2 units.  73. They all have the same general shape. All three go through the points 1 - 1, - 12, (0, 0), and (1, 1). x6 As the exponent increases, the steepness of the curve increases (except near x = 0).  76. 10   77.

Consider the equation tan t = = a. Then y = ax. x 1 a But x2 + y2 = 1, so x2 + a 2x2 = 1. So x = { and y = { ; that is, for any real number a, there is a point P = 1x, y2 on the 21 + a 2 21 + a 2 unit circle for which tan t = a. In other words, the range of the tangent function is the set of all real numbers. 125. Suppose that there is a number p, 0 6 p 6 2p, for which sin 1u + p2 = sin u for all u. If u = 0, then sin 10 + p2 = sin p = sin 0 = 0, so p = p. p p p 3p p If u = , then sin a + p b = sin a b . But p = p. Thus, sin a b = - 1 = sin a b = 1. This is impossible. Therefore, the smallest positive 2 2 2 2 2 1 ; since cos u has period 2p, so does sec u.  number p for which sin 1u + p2 = sin u for all u is 2p.  127. sec u = cos u 129. If P = 1x, y2 is the point on the unit circle corresponding to u, then Q = 1 - x, - y2 is the point on the unit circle corresponding to u + p. Thus, -y y tan 1u + p2 = = = tan u. Suppose that there exists a number p, 0 6 p 6 p, for which tan 1u + p2 = tan u for all u. Then, if u = 0, then -x x tan p = tan 0 = 0. But this means that p is a multiple of p. Since no multiple of p exists in the interval 10, p2, this is a contradiction. Therefore, the period of f 1u2 = tan u is p. 1 1 1 1 x 1 1 131.

(c) We have that y = 3 when x = - 2 and y = - 6 when x = 1. Both points satisfy y = ae x. Therefore, for 1 - 2, 32 we have 3 = ae -2, which implies that a = 3e 2. But for 11, - 62 we have - 6 = ae 1, which implies that a = - 6e -1. Therefore, there is no exponential function y = ae x that contains 1 - 2, 32 and 11, - 62.

71. Since the sine and cosine functions each has period 2p, cos u = cos 1u + 2kp2 and sin u = sin 1u + 2kp2, k an integer. Then,

re iu = r 1cos u + i sin u2 = r 31cos 1u + 2kp2 + i sin 1u + 2kp24 = re i1u + 2kp2, k an integer.

For negative integers: z-n = 1zn 2 -1 = 3 r ne i1nu2 4 -1 = 1r n[cos 1nu2 + i sin 1nu2]2 -1 with n Ú 1 1 1 # cos 1nu2 - i sin 1nu2 = n = n r [cos 1nu2 + i sin 1nu2] r [cos 1nu2 + i sin 1nu2] cos 1nu2 - i sin 1nu2 =

Then u * v = 1bf - ec2i - 1af - dc2j + 1ae - db2k, u * w = 1bn - mc2i - 1an - lc2j + 1am - lb2k, and v + w = 1d + l2i + 1e + m2j + 1f + n2k. Therefore, 1u * v2 + 1u * w2 = 1bf - ec + bn - mc2i - 1af - dc + an - lc2j + 1ae - db + am - lb2k and u * 1v + w2 = [b 1f + n2 - 1e + m2c]i - [a 1f + n2 - 1d + l2c]j + [a 1e + m2 - 1d + l2b]k = 1bf - ec + bn - mc2i - 1af - dc + an - lc2j + 1ae - db + am - lb2k, which equals 1u * v2 + 1u * w2. 63. Let v = v1i + v2 j + v3k and w = w1i + w2 j + w3k. Then 2v * 3w = 6 1v * w2 = 6 3 1v2w3 - v3w2 2i - 1v1w3 - v3w1 2j + 1v1w2 - v2w1 2k 4 . v # 12v * 3w2 = 6 3 1v2w3 - v3w2 2v # i - 1v1w3 - v3w1 2v # j + 1v1w2 - v2w1 2v # k 4

= 6 3 1v2w3 - v3w2 2v1 - 1v1w3 - v3w1 2v2 + 1v1w2 - v2w1 2v3 4 = 0

Since v # 12v * 3w2 = 0, v is orthogonal to 2v * 3w. Similarly, w # 12v * 3w2 = 0, so w is also orthogonal to 2v

Refer to equation (6): A′ = A cos2 u + B sin u cos u + C sin2 u B′ = B1cos2 u - sin2 u2 + 2 1C - A2 1sin u cos u2 C′ = A sin2 u - B sin u cos u + C cos2 u D′ = D cos u + E sin u E′ = - D sin u + E cos u F′ = F 57. Use Problem 55 to find B′2 - 4A′C′. After much cancellation, B′2 - 4A′C′ = B2 - 4AC. 59. The distance between P1 and P2 in the x′y′-plane equals 2 1x2 = - x1 = 2 2 + 1y2 = - y1 = 2 2. Assuming that x′ = x cos u - y sin u and y′ = x sin u + y cos u, then 1x2 = - x1 = 2 2 = 1x2 cos u - y2 sin u - x1 cos u + y1 sin u2 2 = cos2 u 1x2 - x1 2 2 - 2 sin u cos u 1x2 - x1 2 1y2 - y1 2 + sin2 u 1y2 - y1 2 2, and 1y2 = - y1 = 2 2 = 1x2 sin u + y2 cos u - x1 sin u - y1 cos u2 2 = sin2 u 1x2 - x1 2 2 + 2 sin u cos u 1x2 - x1 2 1y2 - y1 2 + cos2 u 1y2 - y1 2 2. Therefore, 1x2 = - x1 = 2 2 + 1y2 = - y1 = 2 2 = cos2 u1x2 - x1 2 2 + sin2 u 1x2 - x1 2 2 + sin2 u 1y2 - y1 2 2 + cos2 u 1y2 - y1 2 2 = 1x2 - x1 2 2 1cos2 u + sin2 u2 + 1y2 - y1 2 2 1sin2 u + cos2 u2 = 1x2 - x1 2 2 + 1y2 - y1 2 2. 63.

Since k 2 - k + 2 is divisible by 2 and 2k is divisible by 2, 1k + 12 2 - 1k + 12 + 2 is divisible by 2.

If x 7 1, then xk + 1 7 x 7 1. 25. (I) n = 1: a - b is a factor of a 1 - b1 = a - b. (II) If a - b is a factor of a k - bk, then a k + 1 - bk + 1 = a 1a k - bk 2 + bk 1a - b2. Since a - b is a factor of a k - bk and a - b is a factor of a - b, then a - b is a factor of a k + 1 - bk + 1. 27.

A convex polygon of k + 1 sides consists of a convex polygon of k sides plus a triangle (see the figure). The sum of the angles is 1k - 22 # 180° + 180° = 1k - 12 # 180° = 3 1k + 12 - 2 4 # 180°. k sides

Since the lengths of the sides of the triangle formed by the midpoints are all equal, the triangle is equilateral.  73. Let P1 = 10, 02, P2 = 10, s2, P3 = 1s, 02, and P4 = 1s, s2 be the vertices of the square. Then P1 and P4 are the endpoints of one diagonal, and P2 and P3 are the endpoints of the other diagonal.

The midpoints of the diagonals are the same. So, the diagonals of a square intersect at the midpoints.  74. Let P = 1a, 2a2. Then 2 1a + 52 2 + 12a - 12 2 = 2 1a - 42 2 + 12a + 42 2 k 1a + 52 2 + 12a - 12 2 = 1a - 42 2 + 12a + 42 2

k 5a 2 + 6a + 26 = 5a 2 + 8a + 32 k 6a + 26 = 8a + 32 k - 2a = 6 k a = - 3. Then, P = 1 - 3, - 62.  75. Arrange the parallelogram on the coordinate plane so that the vertices are P1 = 10, 02, P2 = 1a, 02, P3 = 1a + b, c2, and P4 = 1b, c2. Then the



lengths of the sides are d 1P1, P2 2 = 2 1a - 02 2 + 10 - 02 2 = 2a 2 =  a  , d 1P2, P3 2 = 2[ 1a + b2 - a]2 + 1c - 02 2 = 2b2 + c 2, d 1P3, P4 2 = 2[b - 1a + b2]2 + 1c - c2 2 = 2a 2 =  a  , and d 1P1, P4 2 = 2 1b - 02 2 + 1c - 02 2 = 2b2 + c 2. P1 and P3 are the endpoints of one diagonal, and P2 and P4 are the endpoints of the other diagonal.

The lengths of the diagonals are d 1P1, P3 2 = 2[ 1a + b2 - 0]2 + 1c - 02 2 = 2a 2 + 2ab + b2 + c 2

CP6  Challenge Problem Solutions: Chapter 3 99. Let 1x, y2 be a point on the line y = x. Then the distance from 1x, y2 to 13, 12 is d = 2 1x - 32 2 + 1y - 12 2. Since y = x,

d 1x2 = 2 1x - 32 2 + 1x - 12 2 = 2x2 - 6x + 9 + x2 - 2x + 1 = 22x2 - 8x + 10, and 3 d 1x2 4 2 = 2x2 - 8x + 10. Because a = 2 7 0, it has a minimum. The x-coordinate of the minimum point of 3 d 1x2 4 2 also provides the x-coordinate of the minimum point of d 1x2: - 1 - 82 -b = = 2. So, 2 is the x-coordinate of the point on the line y = x that is closest to the point 13, 12. Since y = x, the y-coordinate is x = 2a 2.2 also 2. So, the point 12, 22 is the point on the line y = x that is closest to 13, 12. 100. Let 1x, y2 be a point on the line y = x + 1. Then the distance from 1x, y2 to 14, 12 is d = 2 1x - 42 2 + 1y - 12 2. Since y = x + 1,

d 1x2 = 2 1x - 42 2 + 3 1x + 12 - 1 4 2 = 2x2 - 8x + 16 + x2 = 22x2 - 8x + 16, and 3 d 1x2 4 2 = 2x2 - 8x + 16. Because a = 2 7 0, it has a minimum. The x-coordinate of the minimum point of 3 d 1x2 4 2 also provides the x-coordinate of the minimum point of d 1x2: b -8 = - # = 2. So, 2 is the x-coordinate of the point on the line y = x + 1 that is closest to the point 14, 12. Since y = x + 1, the x = 2a 2 2 y-coordinate is y = 2 + 1 = 3. So, the point 12, 32 is the point on the line y = x + 1 that is closest to 14, 12. 101. The derivative f′ 1x2 = 3x2 - 14x - 5 is a quadratic function, so its graph is a parabola. Note that a = 3,  b = - 14, and c = - 5. - 14 7 Because a = 3 7 0, the parabola is concave up. The x-coordinate of the vertex is h = - # = . The y-coordinate is 2 3 3 2 7 7 7 64 7 64 k = f′ a b = 3 a b - 14 a b - 5 = - . So, the vertex is a , b , which lies below the x-axis. So, the graph of f′ is below the x-axis when 3 3 3 3 3 3 x is between the x-intercepts, and the graph of f′ is above the x-axis when x is outside the x-intercepts. To find the x-intercepts, solve f′ 1x2 = 0: 1 1 1 or x = 5. The x-intercepts are - and 5. So, f′ 1x2 6 0 on the interval a - , 5 b , 3 3 3 1 1 and f′ 1x2 7 0 on the intervals a - q , - b and 15, q 2 . Then f 1x2 = x3 - 7x2 - 5x + 35 is increasing on a - q , - b and on 15, q 2 , 3 3 1 and f is decreasing on a - , 5 b . 3 3x2 - 14x - 5 = 0 k 13x + 12 1x - 52 = 0 k x = -

102. The second derivative f ″ 1x2 = 36x2 - 48x is a quadratic function, so its graph is a parabola. Note that a = 36,  b = - 48, and c = 0. Because a = 36 7 0, the parabola is concave up. The x-coordinate of the vertex is h = -

2 2 2 2 2 k = f ″ a b = 36 a b - 48 a b = - 16. So, the vertex is a , - 16 b , which lies below the x-axis. So, the graph of f ″ is below the x-axis when 3 3 3 3 x is between the x-intercepts, and the graph of f ″ is above the x-axis when x is outside the x-intercepts. To find the x-intercepts, solve f ″ 1x2 = 0:

The multiplicity of - c and 0 is 2 (even), so the graph will touch the x-axis at - c and 0. The multiplicity of b is 1 (odd), so the graph will cross the x-axis at b.

Note that f 1x2 = 0 where y1 = y2, that is, where y1 and y2 intersect. Since f is a polynomial function, and f 102 = - 1 and f 112 = 1 are of opposite sign, the Intermediate Value Theorem guarantees there is at least one real number c in the interval (0, 1) where f 1c2 = 0. That is, there is at least one real number c in the interval where the graphs of y1 = x3 and y2 = 1 - x2 intersect.

The wheel and rear cog have the same angle of rotation so sc = rc # uw = 1.8(40) = 72 inches for the chain on the cog wheel. The chain needs to have the same arc length on the pedal drive wheel, so 72 = (5.2)up or up ≈ 13.84615 radians = 13.84615>(2p) ≈ 2.2 revolutions.

48. Letting u =

Since the focus is at the pole 10, 02, the vertex is 10, a2 = 10, 0.42. The parabola is concave down so 1x - h2 2 = - 4a 1y - k2. So, x2 = - 1.6 1y - 0.42. The water hits the ground when x = 4, so 42 = - 1.6 1y - 0.42 k - 10 = y - 0.4 k - 9.6 = y The water hits the ground 9.6 inches below the focus. That is, the base of the tank is 9.6 inches below the focus. The puncture is at the vertex, so the puncture is 9.6 + 0.4 = 10 inches above the base of the tank. p 250 = 125 so the vertex is 125 meters below the focus. 49. Letting u = - gives r = 2 1 - sin 1 - p2 2

Since the focus is at the pole 10, 02, the vertex is 10, - a2 = 10, - 1252. The parabola is concave up, so we have 1x - h2 2 = 4a 1y - k2. So, x2 = 500 1y + 1252.

The outcome “exactly two dice have the same reading” can happen 6 ways: exactly two 1’s, or exactly two 2’s, or exactly two 3’s, or exactly two 4’s, or exactly two 5’s, or exactly two 6’s. So, we find the probability of each of these six outcomes and combine their results. Now, when three dice are 1 2 5 1 2 5 5 . tossed, “exactly two 1’s” can occur in C13, 22 = 3 ways.
